Location: New Hampsha | As a consolation prize for those of us not lucky enough to be touring the Mother Ship, howze about a Contest - A blatant effort to boost our post counts while the bandwidth hogs are feeding at the trough?
Let's see who can add the most posts to their starting count between Now - when the tour started - and Sunday Evening!
No need for spiffy content - just keep tabs of the number of counts you've added! Highest number of adds wins!
I'll go first: One! |

If you list your guitars vertically it will run up the page count faster.
Although, if T28 merely listed all of his it would eat up a page at a time....
Still on page four, but we're gaining on the kill a post thread.... |

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador,
a new mastadon,
a Maverick,
a Mustang,
a Montego,
a Merc Montclair,
a Mark IV,
a meteor,
a Mercedes,
an MG,
or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty,
a Maserati,
a Mac truck,
a Mazda,
a new Monza,
or a moped,
a Winnebago--a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple?
Who can tell me what song that's from? |

You say you wannna get a little bump in here
Shaking the room, give it the boom
Cmon
You say you wanna get a little bump in here
It's all good
You gotta listen when the girls say
Everybody get a little bump in here
Level to ten, bump it again
Cmon
Say you wannna get a little bump in here
It's all good
You gotta listen when the boys say
Phatt beat
Like to feel the drops

The show I saw was captured to perfection on the Tubes' live album issued in 1978. Don't believe I've ever seen that on CD, for better, for worse.

Location: GA USA | Nobody likes a squealer, huh? How about that guy I met in the woods during a canoe trip? Lucky I had my bow.
Yes, OAO, that was the tour. It was just like the live album, which was very good, IMHO.
I'm not really saying Tubes did a rock opera, but they were theatrical with all the songs, and Fee did funny characters all the time.
When I think of rock operas, I think of Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Paradise... |
