Word coming through that Tom Verlaine (1949-2023) of Television has slipped away. Marquee Moon (1977) remains an utter gem, with Verlaine's dry, crisp reductionist guitar lines painting an unforgettable sonic canvas.

They’re cancelling art & humanities degrees at uni where students aren’t in skilled jobs in 6 months. They would have cancelled my drama degree at Hull on that basis. I wouldn’t have become a writer. I wouldn’t have written #Sherwood. Other writers wouldn’t have written theirs.

One of the things an English degree teaches you, I think, is the ability to detect spectacularly reductive views of life and what constitutes value.
