Pete Frame:
"Television -- far too good to be washed up after 2 
albums --- could barely gig in the States:  in the
year between April 1977 and April 1978 they did
only 3 U.S. gigs.  'I think a lot  of the rock that's
happening in the States  right now is just 
sickening ...... really sickening.  The main trend 
on the radio is to play the softer kind of music 
because the deejays who were there in the 1967
are still there.  They've grown older and their 
nervous systems don't allow them to go for a 
more inspiring kind of music.  They go for a more
relaxed kind of sound -- and that's what's 
happening in the States right now,' complained
Tom Verlaine."
