Why "Stop Making Sense"?
Why a movie?
Why tour?
Why do the musicians come out gradually?
What will the band do next?
Where do the odd movements come from?
Are live concerts better or worse than records?
Why no "special effects" in the movie?
Why a big suit? Why was a digital system used for the sound?
