Fishing with the Tubes

:: peeks in at the ONT ::

Two great bands of the 1970s: 10cc and the Tubes.
Both of whom did great funny jabs at the "art rock" scene of the time.

Ha! Yesterday, I had a clip from Second City TV of John Candy hosting a fishing show with guests The Tubes.

Daughter, who knows her music mostly, asked, Who are the Tubes. A stark gap in our cultural transmission! One fishing trip and Su Su Sushi later, along with a trip to Wikipedia, and the gap was closed! A dose of Tubes and SCTV and Candy at his goofiest, all at once.

Yeah, funny to see the Tubes mention at end of thread when I tune in.

I can't think of any other funny ensemble comedy-variety shows like SCTV, except early seasons of MadTV were up there. Nope, can't think of any other.

I did not make the ol top ten
or twenty, did not once again.
I'm happy on the list I'm not
It means so far
I've not been caught.
