    Just as brilliant as Byrne himself, True Stories is a fantastic musical film that features a great cast of actors, tunes, and hilarious plot events. A rich and fulfilling movie. On a side-note, having True Stories makes me wonder why iTunes is not offering one of the top five greatest concert films for sale... STOP MAKING SENSE! iTunes, we need that concert film NOW. Everyone who reads this and agrees, go to iTunes and request it.
