I wasn't aware of that.  That's a great story!  There's a well-known picture
of Verlaine standing next to Reed, laughing.  Did Verlaine and Reed know
each other well?  Was Reed a Television fan?  Is Verlaine a Reed fan?  Along
time ago, I used to hear that Verlaine was influenced by the Velvet
Underground, but I haven't heard anything about that in a while.  Nor have I
ever read anything from Verlaine saying that he listened to/liked the VU.
Anyone know?

Cameron.
