(TV) Tell A Vision

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@volpe.dot.gov>]

I don't think it was intentional---but I've always liked the idea that you can pronounce Television as "Tell a vision"; and that is certainly what the band and Tom do.  When I have introduced new acquaintances to the music of the band---I usually stress the Tell a vision "idea/concept"; , unfortunately if I don't mention this I've found from experience that a lot of people I meet think the name Television's pretty lame.   

	Also, as someone mentioned earlier,  the fact that Television=TV=Tom's initials is cool but it may have been just chance that this occurred. I've often wondered if name had anything to do with Television's lack of commercial success----my theory is that it was not a major factor but didn't help their cause amongst those in the U.S. hinterlands where sophistication or a sense of irony is a rare commodity.

Except for Tom. :) I know when I first met him he didn't have a tv and would
come to Fred's house to
watch his.
