(TV) Television and... Luke Haines

["Tim Mitchell" <fireman9@btopenworld.com>]

The publisher of my book on Television, 'Sonic Transmission', somehow 
'mislaid' one of the chapters and as a result it was left out of the book. 
If anyone would like to read it, I've put it up on my website at:

www.timmitchell.org.uk

(follow the 'Sonic Transmission' link).

Also, if anyone is interested in Luke Haines, I've written a novel about him 
which has just been published (it includes interview material, too). It's 
called 'Truth and Lies in Murder Park' and there are more details on the 
website, and a review here:

When I was interviewing Haines I asked him about the time he supported 
Television at David Bowie's Meltdown, and this is what he told me (short but 
quite sweet, I think):

"Tom Verlaine came into our dressing room. They were trying to cobble 
together some sort of art-rock Bowie trip and he knocked on our door and 
came in our dressing room. He didn't even introduce himself, he just said:

'Bowie hit, two words.'

'"Rebel Rebel"?'

'Got it.'

And that was him out. Which is a perfect kind of Tom Verlaine thing. I liked 
that."
