A Conversation with The Tubes Founder Bill Spooner, Part One
“No titties in the Twin Cities.”
Customarily, I try to keep up with the interviews I do. Unfortunately, one fascinating interview has gone un-transcribed for more than a year and a half.
In connection with the (!) release on Real Gone Music of a pair of Tubes albums (Young and Rich from , and s Now), I interviewed Bill Spooner, founding songwriter and guitarist with the band.
In addition to discussing the bands career arc in general, and the stories behind the albums, he was kind enough to share track-by-track reminiscences.

Bill Kopp: Though released only a year apart, these two albums are very different. Lyrically, Young and Rich leans a bit more in the direction of comedy and satire, with 50s pastiches, disco and so forth.
To my ears its almost a slice-of-life, “Tubes look at America” concept album.
