(TV) Reader? / Woke Up Dreaming



Again, almost all of these--with the exception of some 
in 2nd paragraph---are post 1978.

"And he becomes positively effusive when the topic has 
nothing to do with music: the novels of Janet Hobhouse; 
films by Alan Rudolph; the way an old woman on a bus told 
him about "bypassing the American educational system." 
Novels, film, and overheard tales are more essential to 
Verlaine's work than the Billboard chart. .."

"....they also have a shimmering, dream-like quality. 
Like many of his favorite authors and poets -- Arthur 
Rimbaud, Blaise Cendars, the Persian Sufi poet Rumi -- Mr. 
Verlaine closely monitors his dreams. "I think keeping a 
dream record is a really worthwhile pursuit," he said. 
"The other night I was reading a dream I had in 1983, 
and I was astounded because what it had in it was something 
that came true, in a very real sense, a week ago. Sometimes 
I hear melodies, rhythms and things in my dreams, really wild 
stuff that the conscious mind would never have come up with. 
I wake up and hum it into a tape recorder."

Poets Coleman Barks and Robert Bly.

The Pamphlet, 'Quote Unquote' has an interview in which he 
talks about reading Michel Foucault, and similar authors.


Oh yeah, and he reads stuff on the sides of trucks, 
which is where Reemco .. came from.

                                     Who was Verlaine reading, in those early 
Television days. 
                                     From the days with Richard Hell up 
Marquee Moon, Adventure?
