Talking Heads' "Heaven"



Those who want to visit this popular night spot are advised to arrive early. Lines are long, as it seems everybody is trying to get into the bar. Odd, really, because Heaven’s slogan is “The Place Where Nothing Ever Happens.”



The reason for Heaven’s success is simple: predictability. They have found a formula and stuck with it. Although this leads to a lack of variety, patrons can be assured of a good time. The house band, for example, plays your favorite song, exclusively, all night long.

The nightly party is a regimented affair. We caution patrons to be alert as the evening draws to a close, when there is a rush for the door. Everybody who is there will leave at exactly the same time. But don’t worry, the party starts again immediately.

Although the above description makes Heaven sound like a boring place to spend an evening, those who have attended a party there are in unanimous agreement that this kind of nothing is actually exciting and fun.

But some people think this is fun.
