"David Byrne supplied journalists with written synopses of dreams he had while making his new album. We asked leading dream analyst Quentin Watts what they say about him. Byrne dreams he is in a public toilet. There is urine on the floor, and it soaks through his shoes, which are made of bread."

A few cuts here and there and it shares with the real thing not just the name but the looks.

I knew it was too tasty for me to have been the only one to rise to the occasion and baguette for myself. That's a rye sense of humor you have, sir, flouring for all to digest here where it is much kneaded. It is my deepest convection that if I had not so recently been baked, I would have been golden, but this batch goes to you, however you slice it. Dough!
