marquee moon

When Television came up with the song “Marquee Moon”, they must have known
instantly that this was their Bohemian Rhapsody, their Freebird, their
Agadoo. I wonder what that feels like. Excitement and pride would surely
abound; also utter trepidation that you won't be allowed to do a gig for the
rest of your life without playing the damn thing.

I read somewhere that Danny Kelly, whenever he sees a copy of Marquee Moon
in a 2nd hand shop, buys it. He has dozens, apparently. Good man. I apply
the same rule to bIG*fLAME's “Cubist Pop Manifesto”, but I've only ever
found two.
