Moses Znaimer – TVTV

Back in 1991 I was hired to write and perform a poem about television for the opening of Moses Znaimer’s 3-hour history of television called TVTV. We shot an amazing sequence in front of MuchMusic with my Poetry Band, which at that time featured trombonist Tom Walsh, drummer Paul Fitterer and bassist Ben Carlsson. Looking back, it was a great experience. I’d like to redo my performance but hey – overall I hope you’ll agree it all turned out pretty well…So with out further ado…9 minutes of fun from the vaults…oh and make sure you stick around for Jerry Rubin’s magnificent performance as a shit-disturber of the highest order…(This is not the final version of the show that aired but imo it’s even better than the one they ended up airing…)
