(TV) Old Tom & Hall & Oates / Strokes on Letterman

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Sorry about the lousy formatting/spacing of that last 1984 Village 
Voice piece---I probably screwed it up with carriage returns at my 
end. 

As far as Verlaine questioning Hall and Oates (kind of boggles the 
mind just imagining it, doesn't it!?), I have never seen/read the 
original source of this.  Can anyone on list recall anything about 
it? (Or do you think the Village Voice writer was pulling the readers' 
proverbial legs?)

Speculation:  Our Tom was quite the social butterfly back then, and 
would frequently host these well attended and extended salons/soirees   
on the front stoop of his tiny old apartment, during which most 
of NYC's literati and intellectuals (e.g., Hall and Oates) would 
wax philosophically on some of Tom's favorite musicians such as Ravel 
and Neil Young.  

	Leo

PS:  Saw the Strokes on the David Letterman Show last night. The one 
song they played reminded me more of the NY Dolls than of Television
---not that the Strokes' lead singer was any Johannsen, it was more of 
a similarity of the song's guitar chords, the lead guitarist's demeanor, 
and his jumping around on stage.
