Thirty five years later, I look back upon the music produced by the
Terminal Sunglasses with much pride. I am also still impressed by how
much press we got and how well our music was received critically (see charts and
reviews), considering how amateur we actually were. Clearly, our
talent lay as much or more in creating hype as it did in songwriting.
How many bands can claim that Frank Zappa went on MTV to introduce their
video in which Leonard Cohen appears (check out Psycho Rail
on the video download page)? How many bands
can claim to have been banned from Much Music for making fun of Much
Music in their video (check out Antennae
Dilemma on the video download page)?? How many bands can claim that
their equipment was stolen from their practice studio not once, but
twice in the same year? OK, maybe that last point is pretty common in
the garage music biz, but I wanted to add that if anyone sees an early
1980's all black USA Fender Stratocaster with maple fretboard (see above
pic) that has two small modified phase switches built into the front
panel, it's mine, and I would appreciate having it back.
