Well said, Joe. The article from which Killing Moon is very selectively
quoting is actually pretty passionate about Tom and his then-new SONGS AND
OTHER THINGS, and includes this great quote from James Wolcott at the end:
"Village lore had it that whenever you spotted Verlaine in daylight, it was a
good omen."
Pretty sure this article made it to this list back in 2006, but
if not, here it
is: http://www.laweekly.com/2006-05-11/news/this-is-not-earth-music/full/

Another in a long line of "Tom's an a-hole and/or Richard's nucking futs"
stories. I get it, and I don't care. I don't choose my music based
on
whether the performer is a nice guy/girl, I choose it by what comes
out of my
speakers and gets in my ears.
I would wager that most of the people I listen
to have a dendency to
be difficult in one degree or another. Unless they want
me to play for
them (ha!) their personality doesn't make much of a
difference. I
might change my mind if I find someone's a hateful person or a
racist,
but I find that people like that tend not to make music I listen to.
I liked Carr's statement, Television is always my internal soundtrack
when I'm
in NYC, I don't know that those 4 people would have made music
that sounds
like *that* if they were in Topeka or San Francisco or
Miami. I'm not sure
why the guy who writes the killing joke felt
the need to take someone else's
statement and make it an ad homenim
attack on Tom. Scroom.
