We received a tweet last week from somebody who insists that they swore they saw artist David Byrne in Tampa.

Maybe he wasn't hallucinating, as Byrne said in a statement released yesterday he recently was in the Cigar City, as he and former Florida Governor Charlie Crist resolved their lawsuit.

Byrne had sued Crist $1 million for using the Talking Heads 1985 classic Road To Nowhere in an ad that attacked former Senate rival Marco Rubio in 2010. Apparently part of the lawsuit is that neither party would admit how much -if anything- the Crist campaign owes the former leader of the Heads for doing what so many politicians have done to artists over the years, though some (like John Cougar Mellencamp, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen) have fought back.

Part of the resolution of the suit was that this video of Crist being extremely apologetic would be released to the masses:

In a statement, Byrne said:

"It turns out I am one of the few artists who has the bucks and (guts) to challenge such usage. I'm feeling very manly after my trip to Tampa!," Byrne said. The musician went on to express his hope that by taking a stand on this issue, other politicians may reconsider this practice in the future.

Apparently the former guv and the New York City based musician got along well during their depositions last week. The Miami Herald reports that Edward M. Livingston, a Naples attorney representing Byrne, said there was something kind of neat about seeing the two guys together.
