♪♫ Television - Foxhole (OGWT 1978)
For those interested in old/rare Television/Tom V. articles, Youtoober Bobjb999 has created a link to a file of scans of approx. 60 articles/interviews (most contain interview content):

Collected between 1978 & 1990, & the articles date from '74 to '90. The Wonder fan site has an excellent articles collection (mostly text files), but many of these articles aren't yet available there. Also, here's a link to a file of scans of 'The Night', a poetry book(let) by Tom Verlaine & Patti Smith, published 1976. The book was called The Night reportedly at least partly 'cause Tom & Patti wrote all the poems in one night. Even numbered poems are by Tom, odd numbered by Patti. Patti consciously relates the book to French poet Arthur Rimbaud and from memory the font used was the same as an early Rimbaud book. My thanx to friend of Exile Kaggsy who scanned her copy for me a while ago as I had long lost mine.

Now if anyone can hook me up with a complete copy of this tape or Richard Hell's article about David Johansen from Hit Parader from about 1975 which from memory was nothing less than Hell's rock'n'roll manifesto.

Richard Hell & Patty Oldenberg (c.1970)
Patty met Richard and “Tommy Miller,” the future Tom Verlaine at the artist’s bar, St. Adrian’s at the Broadway Central Hotel in early 1969. Richard was 19, Patty was about to turn 35, and they were soon living together. It was an important time and an important relationship for both. Richard has written: “The two and a half years from early 1969 through summer/fall 1971 that began when I met Patty and ended with the composition of Wanna Go Out? (a set of collaborative poems written by Tom [Verlaine] and me in the persona of a despairing, faux-vicious hooker named Theresa Stern) were probably my most formative.” Patty and Richard continue to be friends in regular contact with one another.
