Tom Verlaine began his life as Thomas Miller. He began studying piano at an early age but switched to saxophone in middle school after hearing a record by John Coltrane. Verlaine was initially unimpressed with the role of the guitar in both rock and jazz, and was only inspired to take up the instrument after hearing the Rolling Stones’ “19th Nervous Breakdown” during his adolescence[2], at which point he began a long period of experimentation to develop a personal style. Verlaine also had an interest in writing and poetry from an early age. As a teen he was friends with future bandmate and punk icon Richard Hell at a boarding school, Sanford School they both attended. They quickly discovered that they shared a passion for music and poetry.
After one failed attempt, Verlaine (with Hell) succeeded in escaping from school and moved to New York City. He then created his stage name, a reference to the French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine. He is quoted as saying this name was inspired by Bob Dylan’s name change and was a way of distancing himself from his past. He and Hell formed The Neon Boys, recruiting drummer Billy Ficca. The Neon Boys quickly disbanded after failing to recruit a second guitarist, despite auditions by Dee Dee Ramone and Chris Stein. They reformed as Television a few months later, finding a guitarist in Richard Lloyd, and began playing at seminal punk clubs like CBGB and Max’s Kansas City.

Funkatram: actually, Dreamtime just got re-released on cd. I got mine for $12. and vinyls can be found for pretty cheap.

Yeah, too bad I'll probably never hear it because the scummy sellers on Amazon priced it at about 123 dollars.

I know a lot of people think Dreamtime is Tom's best solo output, but personally I find myself liking his other albums more.

Wow, that's really fantastic news! I hope that generates some new interest in his music, and finally people who haven't heard Dreamtime will be able to understand while it's been hailed as the best for so long! :D
