Not Everybody Else


Walter Lure
Rest In Peace

"There was definitely a whole community thing going on. It was the New York scene and we were a part of it, whether it was hanging out with Debbie Harry or David Byrne or whoever. There were rivalries later, but it was pretty diverse between bands like Talking Heads and Television, who were almost diametrically opposed to The Heartbreakers. We didn’t even have any management at that time. The main thing was that we’d all been brought up with — and ate, drank and breathed — solid, fast rock'n'roll. That’s what we all loved. I guess you could call us the only authentic rock band in the city."
