Re: (TV) The biggest Television fan?



Right Phil, one would think someone going to all the trouble of having a "M
arquee Moon" tattoo inscribed on their arm might also have been interested 
enough in the subject to have acquired a slightly better store of knowledge
 about the album & band than that guy apparently possesses.

However, I
'll recount a similar example. I once spoke with a guy who had Jimmy Page's
 symbol tattooed on his arm, the one that reads something like "ZoSo". The 
only thing he said he knew about it, besides that it was Page's, was that h
e'd been told the symbol was originally Jimi Hendrix's but that upon Jimi's
 death had, in some mysterious way,  been passed on to Jimmy Page as the 
next worthy bearer of the symbol (oo-ee-oo. An obviously fanciful, bogus st
ory). Actually, the symbol can pretty easily be traced to some of Page's oc
cultism studies he was involved in, but the guy with the tattoo had no clue
 about that or it's meaning. Oddly, it seems getting a tattoo doesn't neces
sarily imply the tattooed one knows very much about what their tattoo repre
sents!

That's amazing. But if he's such a bi

Television broke up (for the first
 time) in 1979?

Then again, he calls
the Rhino reissue of MARQUEE MO
ON "recent" so perhaps dates aren't his thi
ng. :)
