last december, former talking heads frontman and now solo multimedia artist david byrne slipped into the philippines unannounced in order to dig up archives and historical resources for a musical project on the life of imelda marcos. titled "here lies love," the musical is a joint effort of byrne and norman cook, better known as fatboy slim.

in his blog you will find his deep and multicolored observations on philippine politics and culture, such as his fascination with jeepneys and tricycles and his musings on the pinoy's ability to find order in a seemingly anarchic society. of interest as well is his encounter with notorious imelda loyalist sol jose-vanzi, who barraged him with a completely revisionist spin on the saga of the marcoses.

look into the eyeball.
