We call rock star Tom Verlaine of the rock group Television on our ouiji board

   Herbert Gilbert

   Maybe not in this universe but in a alternative similar universes one of the biggest rock star straight up there with Mick Jagger, Slash, and Roger Watters was the guitarist and lead singer of the eighties band Television. Now Television is not a famous band and indeed when the obituary came out that the fonder and lead singer of the proto-punk band Television had died many shrugged their shoulders even people around at this time period. Television and their lead guitarist were nothing in this universes but in other alternative universes like we said Television is a huge band the top five greatest of all time .

However we did a seance to call pout Ton Verlaine and basically ask him who the fuck he is as in our universe this band never found fucking commercial success and like I said I never saw these fools on the early days of MTV. Tom Verlaine despite what the obituaries said was not a rock star and I don;t if he played a mean mean guitar and we trolled him on our Ouija board as and he left after a few questions of ridicule for his music.

 In his older days after leaving the failed punk rocker group Television Tom Verlaine released eight solo albums with none of them being note worthy or important. In fact if one were to do a poll of kids of the eighties sand late seventies who are still alive I would be willing to bet only 2% ever recall or remember a band called television and of those two percent only one percent can recall a song. 

 Tom Verlaine was a failed solo artist not fining much success and notoriety nut again perhaps he was huge like Roger Daltry in another universe and Television were like that universes Led Zepplin or something. Tim tried to get some more work in his  alter years performing at these outdoor gigs and concerts as the beginning act for more known bands and the most common thing heard when Tom Verlaine was playing an really mean mean guitar was " Who dat" as no one in the festivals he performed knew exactly who da hell Tom Verlaine was nor why he wa son stage. Tony Verlaine is dead at the age of 76
