...faire, a tolerance for diversity, an intolerance for efforts to legislate morality. The good citizens of Green Bay, Wis., for example, refused to ban the exhibition of obscene material. Californians unhesitatingly rejected an initiative sponsored by Lyndon LaRouchites that could have quarantined AIDS victims. Voters in Massachusetts, Oregon and Rhode Island resisted efforts to restrict a woman's right to have an abortion. Some of the propositions that did pass also reflected a spirit of tolerance for, well, spirits. Voters in Kansas overwhelmingly approved the sale of alcoholic drinks. The last time you could order liquor by the drink...

They were used to the behavioral extravagances and shock-therapy experimentation of the young avant-garde art world, and brought that same go-for-it attitude to their music. Playing at Manhattan's CBGB, the proto-punk club on the Bowery, the Heads dressed in strictly Ivy spiff, like floorwalkers...
...school liberated Byrne. He logged time at two of them, the Maryland Institute's College of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. He was formally enrolled at R.I.S.D. for just two semesters but subsequently spent one year hanging out and letting his fantasies roam wild. "He was doing conceptual art," Tina Weymouth remembers.
