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.


		Leo---who is getting really psyched for TV's 8 pm show
tonight but hope's weather freezing rain  & sleet doesn't cancel TV's flight
to Boston./c

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.
