Writings
Both the original bassist for Television, Richard Meyers (Richard Hell), and the lead guitar player for Television, Tom Miller (Tom Verlaine), were writers and poets. Their writings are rare, but show a lot of personal growth as artists, as they begin to push what is considered normal art.
“There were really interesting things going on with underground writers, anti-academic poets like Ted Berrigan were writing these amazing things and there was this whole eruption of inspired activity that came with the discovery of how easy it was to produce mimeographed books. This was the original DIY ethic and a huge inspiration for me as a musician.” - Richard Hell
