Tube Bar
Audio / May 2005
It’s 25-minutes of some of the most hilarious, profane, and spirited cursing you’re ever going to hear. It’s got some of the world’s nastiest “mother” insults. It’s the basis for a running joke on The Simpsons. It features Red, a Jersey City taproom owner and legend, who was once made famous by Jimmy Breslin. It’s revered in the worlds of professional baseball and alternative music. It’s the Tube Bar, one of the most astonishing and unusual cultural artifacts you’re ever likely to experience.
