High Definition TV

The song Television Man was released the the band The Talking Heads some time ago. I heard it for the first time in years recently. The song is about the life of a man who watches television for most of his life. He watches so much he does not know if he is in the television or outside the television. But it really does not matter at this point.

The world comes crashing into his home through the television. And he admits the TV has made him everything he is. The television man says that people like to knock the TV.

But he assures us that he and the television are merely good friends. He walks in a beautiful garden where everyone would like to say hello but it does not matter what people say they are waiting for the TV to come and take them away. The television man watches everything on his good friend the TV. The television has everything he needs and that is how the story ends.

This is an old song given it was from the’80’s. When I first heard it I related it to my TV habits. I thought back then I was watching too much TV. Now more than 20 years later I realize I am still watching too much television. The song reminded me again to take a look at how much I live for TV.

I even tell myself, in denial of course, that my TV and I our only good friends. But I spend more time with TV than I care to admit. I even think the TV is real sometimes. And that is what special movie effects are all about, right?

But we do not stop with films. We believe all the news commentators we watch and listen to on the TV. Of course we all have our own political and social belief. But we can find the person on TV who we agree with us and then believe everything that person says. We want to be friends with those we watch on TV. If only we can talk to them.

If we could we would talk to them. But we do sort of talk to them in our minds do we not? We try to communicate with the Television more than our next door neighbors, who are also watching TV. The song finishes by claiming television has all the television man needs. Words to remember even today.
