was doing a date next door at TT the
Bear's. I might have the clubs reversed, but it doesn't really matter.
Anyway, Watt is almost as big a Television fan as he is a B.O.C. fan and
closed his set with a Television cover, hoping that Verlaine would hear
it; "Little Johnny Jewel," I think.

Nah, Amy, I don't hate 'em or anything. I've just never quite been on the
wavelength. I enjoyed those shows way back when and I even see the sense
in which their were certain innovations there (like the phrasing thing
Barry mentioned). They just never rang my own little bell, etc

I'm probably jumping into this late (sue me, I've been in bed with a fever
of 103 the past three days) but Richard Lloyd is indeed a guitar god. The
closest I ever got to seeing his fingers fly was a tour that the Heath
Happiness Show did with Butch Hancock in 1995. Lloyd was playing with HH,

And that Patti Smith quote was hilarious, thanks for that one! g.
It's even better if you imagine it being said in Patti's weird South

So maybe Verlaine needs to do a tour with the Ex-Husbands now...
Shudder
Television isn't quite as twangless as you'd think, in my opinion. They are played a
different sort of twang than most of us are used to hearing. In my opinion, they
could have been one of the great bands of the 70s, had they not been sidetracked by
drug abuse. Tom Verlaine's vocals were
the twin
guitars of Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine were revelatory. Patti Smith once
said of Tom Verlaine, "He plays guitar like a thousand bluebirds
screaming," and as pretentious and silly as that sounds, it's oddly
accurate in a way. Television were a band like no other, and the

He was great playing on the "Meet John Doe" tour as well. I had a space by

All this fun talk about Television and Richard Lloyd made me notice that
there's a new record by someone named Bibi Farber which features Richard
lloyd on guitar.
I know nothing about this record - just a description I saw at

Additional twang: Richard Lloyd backed up Butch Hancock at the Mercury Lounge a
couple of years ago, and I still consider it one of the best shows I've ever seen.
lloyd's solo on "Bluebird" brought tears to my eyes.
I saw Butch Hancock when The Health and Happiness Show served as his
backup
I never saw 'em, but "See No Evil" and "Marquee Moon" are two of the

t, we were probably at the
same show(s); my very first CB's show was Television with Talking Heads
opening, back in fall 1975). And I'm certain that Barry Mazor saw them a
few dozen times back in the day.
