This definitely brings me back to high school in SF. Eddie and the Tide played our senior prom, and then were on the soundtrack for the Lost Boys. <br /><br />I was really disappointed that they never made it big.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881075110962703174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464228780732396384.post-82408830295388769162008-10-24T20:25:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:25:00.000-07:00Zillagord,Thanks for your great comment.

So I guess now, I'll send you a bill for my sinus surgery!<BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree more with what you added. "A sell-out and a satire of selling out all in one album." Brilliant!<BR/><BR/>RacerThe Ripple Effecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562244432603113694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464228780732396384.post-55480083766438302732008-10-24T20:16:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:16:00.000-07:00Wow.

No, there was too much blow going around...<BR/><BR/>One thing I always loved about The Tubes was their completely absurd lyrics. I mean, these guys had some of the most (purposely?) inept couplets ever: "I could run off to Jamiaca/If this bondage I could break-a" From "Mondo Bondage," "Love is real, love is certain/When I hear the words I just start hurtin'" from "Mr. Hate," and of course "Other dudes are livin' in the ghetto/But born in Pacific Heights don't seem much betto" from "White Punks" to name my faves. Man, those always provoke a simultaneous laugh and guffaw. That's tough to do, and these guys did it consistently.<BR/><BR/>Too bad I won't be able to tune in to Fee's show, but I will download it for sure. He still has game: we saw The Tubes in 2006 and his voice was better than ever. Of course, he always sang kind of flat....<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for this entry and the videos. I look forward to hearing the show and to reading about more great stuff here. Oh and Racer, it looks like we share a love for heavy stuff as well, I hope to read more from you.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>Zillagordzillagordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346511540964140675noreply@blogger.com
