They call him the Wanderer. For the past three years, San Francisco Native John Weymouth, 33, has drifted about the American West and Alaska, keeping to himself, getting by on odd jobs, never staying in one place for very long. Last week the misanthrope, who wants only to be left alone, briefly became a focus of international attention. Early this month the Wanderer took a 2 1/2- mile stroll across the frozen Bering Strait, from America's Little Diomede Island to Big Diomede in the U.S.S.R. The suspicious Soviets moved him to a tiny room on the mainland and interrogated...
After negotiations between the State Department and the Kremlin, the U.S.S.R. last week returned Weymouth to Little Diomede in a military helicopter. Nearly all of the island's 154 inhabitants--mostly Eskimos --turned out to see Weymouth's return. Asked if he was glad to be back in the U.S., the Wanderer replied, "No. Sorry." And what did he plan to do now? "Keep on walking." Weymouth's mother had paid for an airline ticket for her son to return to San Francisco, but at Anchorage airport, he traded it in for a ticket to Seattle...

Any prosperity this band enjoyed would have to be odd, since the music it makes, fractured and rhythmic and inventive, touches amusingly on endless varieties of weirdness. Starting out, the nucleus of the band formed in Providence in 1974, when Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, students at the Rhode Island School of Design, fell in with David Byrne, occasional student and otherworldly wit. Moving a couple of hundred miles south, and joining up with Keyboard Player Jerry Harrison, they became the premier house band for New York City's young artistic community...
Fans of Tina Weymouth can expect a lot of her voice in background vocals. The album even has a front cover that is a grafftti-filled painting by the Rev. Howard Finster. Borrowed from Tom Tom Club art, the front cover does not give as many hints to the record's content as the back cover. But it can make some good reading while you're mellowing out to Little Creatures, and it just might slow up the realization that these tunes probably are not dry enough to wipe wet dishes...
