Me and my wife celebrated the anniversary of our marriage yesterday. We asked ourselves what had been OUR music through the 36 years since we met. Not an easy task, me into glam and punk and she, a few years younger, more into goth rock. But then she mentioned Tom Verlaine and we agreed that that choise was perfect and listened to him all evening. And even danced to Five Miles of You. When we went to bed we read the terrible news. Spooky.
Spooky indeed.
My wife posted on her FB today,
"Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller, December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023) was an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the New York City rock band Television.
To misquote Princess Diana: "There were three of us in this marriage, but with Verlaine it was never crowded."
May your soul fly high and free Tom. Your music will continue in our ears, heads and hearts"
