    "comment": "Hi John,\nMy husband, and I are driving to San Diego to see Arizona play basketball in the tournament and blasting KEXP in the car and it’s beautiful. You helped us through Covid, helped us remember we are not alone, and today you are helping us have a great road trip.\nWe are requesting to hear Naive Melody This Must be the Place from Talking Heads.\nMelanie\n--\nDavid Byrne said this was the first love song he ever wrote. \"It's a very comforting song,\" drummer Chris Frantz said. \"I think people listen to it and it kind of warms their hearts because it's a song with a happy and secure message. I love that song myself. It's really sweet - quite an accomplishment for a band such as ours.\"",
