Talking Head frontman David Byrne left his giant white suit at home, but brought his laptop to his UC Berkeley lecture, “I (heart) PowerPoint”.

Apparently the musician really, really digs it, so much so he’s on tour promoting its use to create music and art pieces, and has published a book on the subject, “Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information.” That sounds like a master’s thesis.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Byrne started the talk with: “My name’s David Byrne, and I’m going to do an introduction to PowerPoint.” That’s a string of words we never thought we’d hear in that order.
