We recently celebrated our 43rd anniversary; we've actually been living together for nearly 50 years. Tina and I were sharing a painting studio when one day David came in to say he had a song he was working on, and he needed help to finish it. We're all getting along fine. And also, the ability to make each other laugh is a very valuable talent.One thing we learned in art school was that it's okay to derive ideas from other artists that have gone before you, but you always have to add something that's unique onto yourself to make it your own. And I imagine still is.Well, I wouldn't say that I was entirely free from sexism at that point in my life. Not only has she been the love of my life and the love remains very strong for me, but also, she was just so great on the bass guitar as a musician and as an artist. We had some amazing offers from various promoters around the world and when I say amazing, I mean truly amazing. So, I made every effort possible to be diplomatic, to pull my share of the weight and to try to be understanding of David’s many idiosyncrasies.”Now 69, Frantz met his future wife and bandmate Tina Weymouth when they were both art students at the Rhode Island School of Design in the early ’70s. I consulted with Tina a lot during the writing of the book. When the band started to get better, the audiences got bigger.
That was when I realized that he and I had similar interests. So we have a pod of four people, two beagles, and one pit bull.
During their time at the school, Frantz and Weymouth also met another former RISD student who cut his own hair, wore secondhand clothes and sported a Rasputin-esque beard: David Byrne.

We were very conscious of making Talking Heads music, and the whole demeanor of the band, unique unto itself. And awesome.“I noticed that Tom Tom Club had an enormous effect on R&B music,” he says.

Maybe one day, David will become interested. I felt a very strong musical bond with him. Yes, send her candy. Initially I was just a fan, helping to drive him and David to gigs. It's going to be Tina. He's happy to be here as opposed to being in Brooklyn in a tiny apartment. I remember being high with him one day, walking around town for four hours having this intense experience, deeply bonding and plotting out our lives. In Tina's case, she had such a strong intellect and also such a strong sense of rhythm and a strong sense of music. I thought, I'm going to make Tina the center of attention. And it just made complete sense to me.I worked with David from the days at RISD [Rhode Island School of Design], when we started playing together with The Artistics.
