RE: (TV) Huh? / Christmas Eve

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

Philip, 

I was hoping nobody would find out about this until 
its actual release in September, but now that the 
cat's out of the bag, I'll confess that David Keenan 
is actually my pen-name.

The paperback in question includes detailed journal entries 
from 1981 thru 2001 of my dreams in which Tom Verlaine is 
one of the main characters along with yours truly.

Continuum Publishing's small stable of illustrators have 
rendered some really nice black and white tableaux that 
try to capture for 6 of the 14 dreams symbolic moments 
(they based their pictorial representations on a 
tape/dream-history that I sent along with my unedited manuscript).

A preview of just one: 

It's very late Christmas Eve 1981. Leo and K. are looking 
for a cheap Christmas tree as they drive around Dorchester.  
As we slowly approach Ashmont Station (a stop on Boston's Red Line) 
on Dorchester Avenue from the South, in K's old Datsun, we can 
see Tom and his back-up band (consisting of Fred Smith on bass, 
Jay Dee Daugherty on drums and Jimmy Rip[p] on guitar) playing 
their instruments and using three microphone stands, about 10 
feet back from the sidewalk with a gasoline generator for power.  

They are all standing directly in front of the large, locked 
gate of a black, wrought-iron fence; it's about 7 feet tall 
and its top consists of ornamental but sharp spikes.  This fence 
demarcates the property line of Ashmont Station, but its gate is 
open during the day to let people park their cars under the concrete 
ramp for T buses. 

At this late hour about 11:30pm, there are only about 3 or 4 people 
on the sidewalk listening to them play.  K stops the car, and we 
get out and walk over as they finish 'Marquee Moon.' Despite it being 
extremely cold, Tom has no hat on, but he somehow manages to use his 
body's shivering to embellish his vocals.       

	Leo
