I had a feeling someone would pick this up as it's a pretty, umm, oblique

But yeah, from listening to Magazine it's impossible (and that's putting it

were celebrated.

White Punks On Broad Beans... or something... I feel this thread lurching
Beefheart-wards...

What happened to the Tubes anyway? They descended into AOR hell in
the 80s IIRC.. did they ever clamber out again?
