And then we have "Glory", a classic album opener and enough
of attention-getter in its position to earn covers by several other
bands that came up in the college-rock decade that followed,
including Deep South neo-pop mavens The Windbreakers and
literate Scottish tunesmith Lloyd Cole (although there is the
perhaps apocryphal coda to the latter's effort, involving Cole
meeting Verlaine on the street and being told in no uncertain
terms to cease further performance of said song).
Send the sleevenotes back !
Lloyd Cole is English, not Scottish

Thanks for posting these, Keith. The Lloyd Cole mistake aside, I enjoyed
them. Is it true then? That Veraline asked him to stop doing the song? Or
is that part of a myth?
Cheers,
Brian

I think it's a myth, myself. The only Verlaine/Cole meeting I've heard
of is this one from a Tom interview in 1990:
"I gotta good Cole story. Wanna hear my Lloyd Cole story? Well, I was
over here mixing a record in '84 and I had to do some pictures out in
the East End. So I'm standing there and this guy says, 'Hey, Tom, Lloyd
Cole is across the road and he wants your autograph'! I didn't know who
this Lloyd Cole was, y'know. So what do I care? He came in with all
these records and I autograph them. A week later, I heard he'd done a
version of 'Glory', the old Television song. When I heard it, I thought,
'Uh uh, that's sort of interesting'.
"Then I met his cousin or a friend of his brother from Glasgow, who told
me that Cole used to come home from school and practice singing to Lou
Reed and Tom Verlaine records in front of a wardrobe mirror. I thought
that was hilarious! I started to listen to his stuff a little more
closely and detected a bad simulation there in the vocal style."
