The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

When I first heard that Fee Waybill, the charismatic, definitively wacky lead singer of the Tubes was going to be a guest on our very own Ripple Radio Show, I was giddier than a troop of girl scouts in a cotton candy factory. I mean this was Fee Waybill. The Fee Waybill. . . Johnny Bugger. . . Dr. Strangekiss. . . Quay Lewd. . . here on our very own show (you can hear it live October 29th 8-10 pm Pacific Ripple time, available for free download after than just by hitting that cute little blogtalkradio button you see over there to the right).

You see I'd grown up a long time fan of the Tubes. Yes, waveriders, I was a White Punk On Dope living in Mondo Bondage just trying to figure out What Do I Want From Life. In fact I can say unquestioningly, that the Tubes breakthrough album, The Completion Backward Principle, along with Eddie and the Tide's Do it For You, were the defining albums of that glorious summer of 1982, the year between freshman and sophomore years in college. No matter where we went that summer, draggin' down to the beach in Santa Cruz, jolting up to river raft in Sacramento or just drunk off our keisters in by our own backyard swimming pools, the rallying cry of "I'm not going to fry your burgers," was always right there with us.
