Sam Hey there...this is me in my bedroom, circa 1986-ish, with the tubes logo I and a friend painted on my wall, one weekend when I was grounded for smoking...been a tubes fan for a loooong time now, Prairie Prince inspired me to learn the drums and I am still playing 25 years later.
Fernando Santos Yay! Just received my "Mondo Birthmark" CD today. Great pics of the band in the old days. Now I'm going to hear it. :)

Maybe somebody mentioned this: On Thursday, on Adam Carolla's daily podcast, he interviewed comedian Bobby Slayton, and somehow they got into a long discussion about The Tubes, who Bobby opened for many times back in the day. http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/2009/

Hey Tubes Fans,

Watch The Tubes perform "Wonderbread Bodies" at The Streaker's Ball, 1974.

From the liner notes...
WONDERBREAD BODIES
"We were all kids raised in Arizona o...n Wonder Bread and watching TV. I’d always told Bill the story of when I was a kid, making softball-sized balls of Wonder Bread dough. I’d put them in the deep freezer, and then in the 120 degree Phoenix summer, I’d sit in my bedroom and eat these big Wonder Bread softballs. Icy dough. … It became a great theater piece. Fee would dress up as the Wonder Bread man and throw the Wonder Bread out almost like Jesus, giving the wafers to eat to take praise on the great TV god – the god of advertising." – Prairie Prince
"I remember me and Bill coming up with the music for that. Of course he came up with the words. We were really into Captain Beefheart… the sort of angular, jerky things that he was doing. He was our hero at that time, so we were kind of mimicking what that group was doing. … It was our little hippie 'fist in the air' about being plastic and being corporate and Ken and Barbie sort of thing. We were eating vegetables and living on food stamps, so that was our little "Power to the People” song in a way." – Roger Steen
Thank you,
TTP
