''Kim [Thayil, Soundgarden’s guitarist] was influenced by Television a lot. And bands like Television are the reason I started playing guitar in Soundgarden'' - Chris Cornell
Wow. I'm a huge Television fan and I never knew a lot of this stuff....and now I have to find this book that Verlaine and Patti Smith co-wrote because I had no idea it existed. Great blog.
Interesting piece. I wouldn’t previously have thought to associate Television (or much NY punk) with grunge. Also a great excuse to listen to more Tom Verlaine.
