Re: (TV) Verlaine guitar



I don't want to push the issue, because the "spy" comments make me think
you might be wary to answer (understandably!), but...

When was this on issue, and where? Was it on this list? Or somewhere else?
I don't remember it cropping up here. When did Tom deny it? Very
interesting, not just the controversy, but the idea of "Last Night" being a
holdover track.
