Tom Verlaine: Far from the Madding Crowd
Mick Sinclair, ZigZag, September 1984
TOM VERLAINE is a tall frame clothed unremarkably. He's basically apolitical, carrying the air of a fine artist who's possibly been born into the wrong century. He's too American to be 'eccentric', he's not garrulous but thoughtfully articulate, often considering a question in a few moments of silent contemplation before delivering his reply.
