NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #497 ~ 06-06-26]
Pictured: The Modern Lovers.
Already there was a split between us though. [Television guitarist] Tom [Verlaine] didn’t like the [New York] Dolls. He liked Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers more. Richman was an idiot savant of a Velvet Underground–besotted nerdy rock and roller. Like Tom, he had a vision that was personal and that he stubbornly, insistently purveyed as a magic territory in the world, musical and otherwise. He cultivated, and sheltered himself in, a wide-eyed, if intelligent, American-reality-embracing childishness. “I’m in love with the modern world,” he sang. “Roadrunner, a thousand miles an hour,” driving past the malls, into the nightways. I liked Richman too but found the Dolls more exciting and interesting. Tom was a reserved, wound-up person, and the Dolls were too loose for him. It was the same as in poetry—he had problems with Frank O’Hara because too much was allowed in Frank O’Hara. That flamboyance made Tom uncomfortable and made him feel threatened; at least that’s my interpretation.
