Therein lies the dénouement.

I am still in mourning over
The Tube.

Les Garland’s independent project, The Tube, was a sight to behold, and one of my favorite things about LA (for some reason I never found it in NYC, although I’m told it was here). I can’t tell you how many nights Ray and I sat glued to The Tube, watching old B-side videos and live performances. Straight-up great music programming, 24/7. I’ll never forget the excitement of Ani DiFranco’s live version of “Shameless” rotating in -

i never avert my eyes
i never compromise
so never never mind
the poetry

RIP TUBE. Sucks that you are gone!
