(TV) TV & Fashion/ Shirts (not always just sweaty black T-shirt motif)

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

Can't confirm the 'Rabbits' shirt, but it wouldn't 
surprise me as I recall a lot of Verlaine 1981-1982 
shows in NYC that I attended where he always had on 
a very nice shirt (lots of grays with stripes) with 
interesting and original patterns 
similar to what he's wearing on cover of 
the "Quote..... Unquote" Pamphlet, or on the vinyl/EP 
cover of 'Always'

Also  recall a couple of interviews in which TV said 
he haunted used/vintage clothing and thrift shops.  
One interviewer/reviewer referred 
to his appearance back then as " 'Grapes of Wrath'-chic ".

" Tom Verlaine appears to be adrift inside of his clothing. 
Reed thin, his lanky limbs extend a number of inches beyond 
the loose, flapping cuffs of his shirt, lending him an air 
of Grapes of Wrath chic. He ambles into a cushy conference 
room at Warner Bros. Records, and though it's four in the 
afternoon, he begins sipping his first coffee of the day, 
a cigarette dangling from his bony fingers.
