I wish there was a way to 'Like' these statements - I guess I'll just
propel my lazy fingers on this keyboard.
Tom Verlaine - it seems - doesn't care about keeping a fan base. He
doesn't feel the need to communicate with those who love his music
unlike his cohort Richard Lloyd - who is amazingly accessible online
at least. I just wish Tom would do more music ,but he seems to be
going Don Van Vliet mode. I hope he is healthy, but you got to wonder.
I agree with Phil, always be pushing Tom's music - and buy a friend a
gift if you feel so inspired.
