Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – commonly known as OCD – is often depicted in television as the need to clean or organize. But not everyone with OCD has those compulsions. OCD can affect what people think and even the way they walk – not always depicted in the entertainment industry.One UNC student with OCD decided to change that. He wrote a musical to represent others like him.
Anastasio led a performance by a one-off band called
8 Foot Fluorescent Tubes on April 17, 1998, at the original Higher Ground in Winooski, just outside Burlington, Vermont. The show was the first time Anastasio performed in public with Lawton and Markellis, who were joined by guitarist/vocalist
Tom Lawson of The Pants, saxophonist
Dave Grippo, trombonist
Heloise Williams of Viperhouse.
“First Tube” was seemingly named for its placement as the first song played at the 8 Foot Fluorescent Tubes show, which also saw the premieres of future Phish/TAB songs “Sand,” “Mozambique” and “Last Tube.” Trey, Tony and Russ would go on to form the first incarnation of the Trey Anastasio Band which made its debut back at the Higher Ground in February 1999. That concert again featured “First Tube” as part of the setlist.

Video report by ITV News Reporter Sam Holder
A teenager, who is deaf and partially sighted, has become an online sensation after highlighting the loneliness felt by many deaf people.
Tyrese Dibba, 15, began producing video tutorials during the first coronavirus lockdown to teach people how to communicate using British Sign Language.
Now he has a classroom of tens of thousands of students who tune in every day.
He told ITV News: I m proud to help people and give them confidence to meet deaf people so the deaf community will be able to understand hearing people. Being deaf can be isolating.
