Such great videos in the early days of MTV.




They were supposed to play near us in August but cancelled. I think they did some shows after but it looked like they had cut out the heavy touring. Billings is a long way from anywhere.

Cleveland was the first and last stop of The Tubes very first time out of SF on their first US tour.  Saw both shows.  Jaw dropping.

Iconic of a show never to be done like that since.  Kinda like when Genesis performed the full costume Lamb right before Gabriel's departure.  Just once. Got to see that one too, so I can compare.

Still listen to them semi regularly.  It looks like he had a lot of fun going down the road.

Thanks for the memories.

That guy sounds like a character I'd like to meet.

Been reading the stories about college football coach Mike Leach, who recently died. I knew about the Air Raid offense and his prowess as an innovator who transformed the game. What I did not know was really much about the man — and he was worth knowing. These anecdotes are amazing.

From a Facebook post 
As we mourn the passing of Mississippi State coach Mike Leach, I thought I'd bring you a precious story that illustrates how much the coach loved people- all sorts of people.

Lincoln Riley was hired by Mike Leach as an assistant coach in the early 2000's when Coach Leach was the head coach at Texas Tech.
One day, Riley overheard a phone conversation that Coach Leach was having, and Lincoln Riley tells The Players Tribune it went like this:

"He (Coach Leach) picked it up (the phone) and said, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ And then he listened for a second and asked, ‘Where ya calling from?’

"He kept talking on the phone and I eventually sort of tuned out. Now, a short phone conversation for Coach Leach is an hour.

"So he was talking about this and that, and I was kind of hunkered down working on my own stuff. At some point, the call got dropped. They must have lost reception. Coach said, 'Can you hear me? Are you there?'

"He hung up his old flip phone, swung it back open and redialed. He said, ‘Hey, sorry I lost you.’ And then they resumed their conversation for another 30 minutes or so before Coach finally hung up.

"After he was done, we started talking and I said, ‘Hey Coach, who was that on the phone?’

"And he said, ‘Oh, they had the wrong number.'”

Thank you for the introduction. Incredible legacy. Looking forward to listening to new music. RIP {#Good-vibes}

Here's something you might like to start with. This is with his last collaboration, Pete's Posse. The tall guy is Oliver Scanlon, who you will definitely hear from in the future. Pete recruited him while he was still in high school, where he (Pete) ran a traditional music program.

Ha!  It's about time someone wrote that book.  I just saw him in something a week or so ago...maybe a clip from "Teenage Frankenstein".
