(TV) Elvis namechecks Television



Sitting here listening to the most recent re-release of Elvis Costello's
"Armed Forces", and found an interesting tidbit in Elvis' liner notes. 
In talking about the song "Goon Squad", Elvis says that "The rhythmic
idea was borrowed from the great Don Covay record, "It's better to have
(and don't need)", but we were too wound up to play it in that fashion. 
Added to this was a guitar figure that seems to imitate a very early
record by the New York group Television." Never thought I'd hear Elvis
name check Television... - Steve  Steve Rovnerserovner@mindspring.com
