Twenty 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, 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? 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 that has two small
modified phase switches built into the front panel, it's mine, and I
would appreciate having it back.
