David Byrne was on CBS Sunday Morning today to share his thoughts on the importance of collective rituals like concerts and theatre, which have been curtailed during the pandemic, and how their return is an important part of healing. "Becoming part of a larger group than just 'I' is a wonderful experience," Byrne says. "Now, we're beginning to recapture that experience, that part of ourselves again. The feeling of becoming whole again is ecstatic." You can watch his commentary below.
