Song 819: This week the playlist puts the spotlight on Wild Wild Life by Talking Heads, written by David Byrne, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. In the summer of 1986, I had a comfortable room in a 6-bedroom house in Berkeley, CA, that I shared with a bunch of my singer-songwriter friends. While the SF Bay Area has milder temperatures overall, the summer months are still the best time to do visits to special places like the Yosemite National Park, and that summer I had a car, so I drove myself and a good friend over to see and visit our favorite peaks. At this point, I don't remember if the radio shared this gem during that excursion, but I do know that when we got on that mountain top, we certainly did get to see some wild wild life.
