(TV) Wilco - Richard Lloyd connection

["Steve Rovner" <serovner@mindspring.com>]

I just finished reading "Wilco: Learning How To Die" by Greg Kot (pretty good book, although it's not great).  Wilco has always been a favorite of mine.  Near the end of the book, I ran across the paragraph below:

"For his thirty-fourth birthday in 2001, Sue Miller's gift to her husband was a guitar lesson from Richard Lloyd of New York new-wavers Television.  In the midst of the 1970's CBGB scene, the dueling guitars of Lloyd and Tom Verlaine evoked '60s psychedelic and progressive bands more than any of their punk-era peers.  Tweedy adored the band, and the way Lloyd's skewed harmonics opened up the fretboard in particular.  In three hours, he filled up a notebook with new possibilities after Lloyd showed up with a guitar at the Wilco loft."

I never would have thought that Jeff Tweedy and Wilco could be influenced by Television, but there you go.....
