Quotes

In an interview, Jerry Harrison named “I Zimbra” as his favorite Talking Heads song, and pointed out that the style of the group’s next album, Remain in Light, was indebted to the song’s innovations.

" We also knew that our next album would be a further exploration of what we had begun with I Zimbra "
: - Jerry Harrison, Liquid Audio, 1997 [http://www.talking-heads.net/jerrychat.html T A L K I N G - H E A D S . N E T ] ]
