In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and Lindy Morrison first met. Tracey's music career with the Marine Girls had just begun, while Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior.

Morrison came to be a kind of mentor to Thorn, a strong female role model in a male dominated industry. They both faced a chauvinist music media wanting them to behave to type.

Quando eu estava crescendo, se você me colocasse contra uma parede com os outros garotos da minha rua e me perguntasse qual de nós chegaria aos sessenta anos, com cinco filhos e quatro netos e casas em Buckinghamshire e Califórnia, eu não teria apostado dinheiro em mim – de jeito nenhum. Mas aqui estou eu: pronto para contar minha história, com minhas próprias palavras.

Drawing on his own work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and his myriad collaborators - along with journeys to Wagnerian opera houses, African villages, and anywhere music exists - Byrne shows how music emerges from cultural circumstance as much as individual creativity. It is his magnum opus, and an impassioned argument about music's liberating, life-affirming power.
