Re: Remembering Tom Verlaine

[Phil Obbard <pobbard@gmail.com>]

I'm sure we'll hear from Richard Hell, too. He and Tom may have split a lot earlier than Tom did with Lloyd, but you got the sense they were a lot closer as partners and friends - even post-split - than Lloyd and Verlaine ever were. But it wouldn't surprise me if Hell needed time to collect his thoughts. 

Someone reminded me of the last page of Hell's memoir, from 2013, where he talks fondly of a recent encounter with Verlaine, and how alike they still were.

I take that back.

Thank you everybody, for your kind words and sentiments regarding the death of my partner in music, Tom Verlaine (Miller) of Television. We will all miss him terribly. I however, am fine and am in good health. In fact I go on tour in March and April, in ther Northeast and Canada. We look forward to seeing some of you then. —Richard Lloyd
