This is a question whose application here can be debated and debunked by those familiar with the work of Dr. John Lilly, the behavioral scientist whose use of tank therapy prefigured Eddie's. But most moviegoers will be enthralled by the fiction in this dazzling piece of science fiction...

How far they will continue to search for it in the bush, like a musical Stanley and Livingston, will largely be determined by the reaction to this album and how well they can duplicate the funk/permanent wave fusion in concert. Byrne was able to toss aside his carefree/paranoid psycho image in one album and can abandon this turn just as easily.
