Re: (TV) patti in austin (peripheral verlaine content) (includes UFOs)

[Bob Beatty <bobjb2002@yahoo.ca>]

Re. Tom & UFOs. He did grow up in the '50s & '60s when there were lots of
movies about space travel & alien encounters, plus some cartoons, as Deb notes
Tom mentions in intro-ing the song "UFO". And The Twilight Zone TV show Tom
watched as a kid  had some memorable  E.T. themed episodes.  My guess is the
subject may have lodged itself in his imagination from such sources, starting
when he was young.....However, somewhere or other I did read or hear  E.T.
buffs believe not only in bald, bulbous-headed grey midget E.T.s, but that
there supposedly exists another race of E.T.s known as "Nordics" who visit
Earth, & sometimes mingle with humans, who are TALL & BLONDE & much resemble
HUMANS!

Hm, you don't think Tom's bio about supposedly being "Tom Miller from
an ordinary middle class family in Wilmington, Delaware" could possibly be
just a convenient & well developed cover story, do you, & that Tom really
hails from much farther afield??  Well, if Tom suddenly disappears without a
trace one day when  some mysterious lights are seen  in the sky,there may be a
few Tom fans out there who'll be saying "told ya so!"

patti in austin (peripheral verlaine content)  (includes UFOs)
 

On the
recording where he plays the song "UFO", before he starts playing, it sounds
like he says, the cartoon show was called "UFO". Live show from 3-09-75. 
Someone should ask Richard Hell about it, I'm sure he would know what Tom was
referring to.
