(TV) Richard Lloyd's Facebook Comments on The New Television Track

[Steve Rovner <serovner@mindspring.com>]

I admire Richard more and more over time....

"I contributed a track to a Japanese CD that is for the Earthquake Victims (Glurp), and so did Richard Hell, with an AMAZING version of his song "Time", and the "Television" with Jimmy Ripp replacing me contributed an instrumental mess called "Mistakes", and Tom contributed a song called "Leaves", which is the same dribble with the guitar on volume -1, and two verses of about six words each -- his version of a 12 year old Pat Metheny, teeny weeny meandering guitar... Lyrics 1st verse: "The day is long, the day is long, so...the night is brief" 2nd verse: "Cherry blossom time, cool breeze on the pond. we just say, aragato." (Japanese goodbye). That's IT. But there is lots of really cool stuff, like a live Zombies version of "She's Not There" and other groovies... The CD is called "OMOIYARI FOR JAPAN - International Music Rescue" (2CD set).  It's still a good buy, and for charity, but you'll both laugh AND cry if you hear the "new" song from "Television" w/Jimmy Ripp, although I have the greatest regard for Jimmy personally, and he and Tom have been playing together for decades, I am embarrassed for Fred and Bill and Jimmy, to be stuck on THAT ship."
