Streakers Ball

Oh, those fabulous seventies. Fee Waybill of the outrageous rock band The Tubes recalls the glory days.

Show business excess was a common theme of the bands’ early work, with Waybill sometimes assuming the onstage persona of Quay Lewd, a barely coherent singer, decked out with flashing glasses and platform shoes. The Tubes handed out loaves of Wonder Bread during concerts and held a streakers ball where fans who came naked got in free.“We could do whatever we wanted to do,” Waybill says.

I was lucky to have seen The Tubes at Harvard University circa 1976. It was a blast.
