“I went out and started on my way up in television. I wrote music, I wrote books, I played an instrument half-ass. I would always have liked to play in a band. I would always have liked to be a substantial writer, to write country music for big singers. I had all sorts of proclivities, but I never had any big success.” WayWritingBookCountryPlayBigsHalfTelevisionBandInstrumentsSingersAssMy Way Author:Chuck Barris
“Television was the only band of its ilk that treated the guitar with delicacy, not as simple rhythm support for teenage aggression.” SimpleSupportTelevisionBandGuitarTreatedRhythmAggressionTeenageDelicacy Author:Richard Lloyd
“I recently realized that Television has influenced a lot of English bands. Echo and the Bunnymen, U2, Teardrop Explodes - it's obvious what they've listened to and what they're going for. When I was sixteen I listened to Yardbirds records and thought, "God, this is great." It's gratifying to think that people listened to Television albums and felt the same.” PeopleThinkingFeltRecordsTelevisionBandAlbumsObviousEchoesSixteenTeardrop Author:Tom Verlaine
