Tom Verlaine — Missing Him Just the Same
Tom Verlaine was the guitarist, singer, and primary songwriter for Television, a late-’70s New York band whose 1977 album Marquee Moon became one of the most influential guitar records of the post-punk era. Television never chased mainstream success, but their interlocking guitars, restraint, and sense of space went on to shape decades of alternative and indie music. Verlaine died in January 2023. Tom Verlaine with Television at El Club in Detroit, MI, on May 4, 2019. I only saw him once, but I’m grateful I had the opportunity.
