what does "mojique" mean anyway? there is no info on google or in dictionaries. it also is a transliteration of "мужик", which translates from Russian as "dude" or something like that. is the song also an allusion on the post-Soviet Russia then? kek

Listening Wind, from the 1980 album Remain In Light, tells the story of a foreign terrorist, Mojique, who carries out a bombing of American colonialists. The controversial subject matter led David Byrne to comment I don’t know if I could get away with performing that live anymore!… I understand why America is not universally loved. That’s been obvious to me for years and years, but it’s not obvious to a lot of Americans. Their immediate reaction is, ‘They love us, they’re just jealous. They just want McDonald’s.’

I'll add that David did actually perform this song live during the "Feelings" tour in 1997.

Absolutely haunting. I love Adrian Belew's contributions to this song, not to mention Tina's bass.

Absolutely love this song. So chilling when really letting the lyrics sink in. We don't learn, do we...

Tina's bass commands the track beautifully; excellent vocal performance from Byrne.

"White people writing about the noble native Americans suffering the big bad white invaders is always really corny and bad. This is one of the lesser offenders though." ...except it's about terrorism and globalization, but whatever.

Huh, ok, this is the second consecutive track (the chances of that happening are extremely remote) that I've seen the guy below post something that sounds like a quasi digital schizoid pyromanic.
