On social media, talking heads I teased The massive announcement on June 5th led fans to wonder whether the reunion would eventually take office 41 years after the final tour. As one fan said, “If this is the tour announcement, I’m going to be surprised!” Alas, we didn’t get it at all. (Maybe next time!) Instead, I got the first official music video for “Psycho Killer.” Directed by Mike Mills and starring Saoirse Ronan, the video helps commemorate the band’s first show on CBGB 50 years ago. You can see the video above and the 1975 CBGB footage here.
