+R. Michael Duttera - in answer to your queryIn 1972, Verlaine joined Hell in New York and formed the Neon Boys. In 1974, the band added a second guitarist, Richard Lloyd, and changed their name to Television.Television's performances at CBGB helped kick-start the first wave of punk bands, inspiring a number of different artists including Patti Smith, who wrote the first press review of Television for the Soho Weekly News in June 1974. She formed a highly successful band of her own, The Patti Smith Group. Television was one of the early bands to play at CBGB, and persuaded owner Hilly Kristal to book rock bands there on a regular basis. They also built the club's first stage.Hell started playing his punk rock anthem "Blank Generation" during his time in Television. In early 1975, Hell parted ways with Television after a dispute over creative control. Hell claimed that he and Verlaine had originally divided the songwriting evenly but that later Verlaine sometimes refused to play Hell's songs. Verlaine remained silent on the subject.

Who can't relate? If nothing else, a conversation starter, or a pause to a night's activities. "Get it?"

Which film do this brilliant song appear in? Does anyone know?? It could be a feature length documentary, I watch so many of both I can't place it. As I said amazing tune but the band look like they've been injecting crystal meth most of their adult life, died of overdoses and been dug up for the album cover shoot.

maybe because they didn't appear on SNL. Talking Heads did; I was a kid in Wisconsin and remember their appearance well.

¿¿Soy el único que presiente que Television sienta, hace mas de 30 años, bases sonoras importantes del futuro "rock indie" y "rock alterntivo"?? ¡¡Que banda mas adelantada a su época, su sonido tan original reboza de juventud y frescura!!
