As a Tubes Neophite, I have to say: splendid — in a “70s prog rock doesn’t necessarily suck” kind of way!

Yeah, I luv The Tubes… I discovered them through Nina Hagen who covered “white punks on dope” in 1978… watch “TV Glotzer”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPMtoPjH8E&feature=related

A quote from Barry’s Imaginary Publisher:
Listen to Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (circa mid ’70s) for some more cool American prog rock.

A quote from steevo:
Has Nina Hagen ever sung on stage as a guest with the Tubes?

A quote from steevo:
She brought out ‘TV Glotzer’ and then in ’79 the Tubes released an album about a TV addict called ‘Remote Control’! I’m guessing from the pics she’s singing ‘TV Glotzer’ while Fee is singing ‘White Punks On Dope’ seeing as it’s the same tune.
