One more tribute to Tom Verlaine, this one from Jeff & Spencer Tweedy.
I think this is quite lovely.

Terrific.BTW, check out Patti Smith’s tribute to Tom in the New Yorker. It’ll bring a tear to your eye.
That's beautiful, and Jeff's comments at the end about Tom's impact on Jeff's songwriting are intriguing.Here are a couple of worthy Television covers. Luna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aseX4V4QgFYLloyd Cole & the Commotions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh25dcmXfKc- Paul in DK
Beautiful rendition. I saw Jeff Tweedy do an acoustic cover of Marquee Moon in Philadelphia over a decade ago and he spoke about how important the song was to him. In my opinion this is also a good read.https://www.theringer.com/music/2022/4/13/23022787/television-marquee-moon-tom-verlaine-richard-hell
