Great Article /RE: (TV) Finding Tom

["Leo Casey" <LeoCasey@comcast.net>]

Deb,

Thanks very much for posting that article on Tom.  I even liked the poem
(link to it in the article).

My favorite parts:  "At least I didn't ask him the question he must dread
most, "When's your next record coming out?" (Television recorded a new album
some time ago; they just never release it, probably because Verlaine prefers
reading to touring.)" 


"I mentioned some of the early Television songs, never officially committed
to vinyl, that have cropped up on YouTube recently in the form of primitive
live audience-recordings.

"But those were great songs - 'Hard On Love,' 'Kingdom Come,' 'Poor
Circulation.' You could have put out a whole album of them before you
released 'Marquee Moon.' 

"Verlaine considered the idea for a moment, pale blue eyes flickering all
over the place without ever quite landing on anything. 'Yeah, but I think
you get tired of those songs pretty quickly.' "

While looking around the net I came across this little article on Tom.  I
don't remember seeing this before, so if someone had already posted it
earlier, then just ignore this.
