Speaking of Richard Lloyd

I railed for years about the absurdity of rock critics trying to compare The Strokes to Television, a lazy premise that caught fire with rock critics because just like everybody else rock critics are lazy af & were happy to merely cut & paste, even though anyone with ears knew Verlaine/Lloyd were like dueling jazz maestros while The Strokes' two guitar players were perfectly fine to the point of being unremarkable and probably too many by one.

So I find it interesting that on the day Lloyd died, The Strokes - whose cultural significance is decades past & most people probably had no idea were still doing it - played Saturday Night Live. Interesting.
