I think I'd agree with this if the audience for people who care about
RL/TV/Television/RFTT/etc. weren't so glancingly small, and probably mostly
centered online, these days.  The music does stand on its own, but if one's
first alert to its existence is an online post saying "Television releases
new music, former guitarist Lloyd says it's shit", a bit of prejudice comes
into play.  And I do think that might be detrimental.

And sure, I don't know Fred, Billy or Jimmy either, but I just though saying
"Smith, Ficca and Rip" would have made me sound like I thought I was a
pretentious journalist, one of which I'm definitely not.  But no apology
necessary.
