Offered Here: The Tubes 1976-1989 Lot of 4 Entertainment Shirts. This collection showcases four distinctive shirts that were personally owned by Fee Waybill, the frontman of The Tubes, covering over a decade from 1976 to 1989. The lot features a shirt from the cult film Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, representing Waybill's role as one of the "Three Supreme Beings of the Future," along with vintage shirts from Monty Python, the Ann Arbor Hash Bash, and The Pretenders. The Pretenders shirt is uniquely customized with removed sleeves. Sizes vary across the garments.
Additional Information: The film "Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure," released in 1989, has become a significant cultural touchstone, noted for its humor and iconic roles.
