Probably from the party organiser that bought them to whateva country he/she brought them to, to play. Those bastards always want free drugs. In short most LSD is made in Switzerland so you should try there.......
I don't think the Flaming Lips do any drugs anymore. But anyway, everybody wants to say that they hooked up a famous person/group with something, so there is probably a slew of druggie fans offering them things every night.
i know rock scully used to do that on the dead tours.....just walk out into the crowd and find a head who was holding whatever jerry or bobby or whoever wanted and tell him he could get him backstage for it... but as far as acid man, you don't have to wonder long where they got it when fucking owsley stanley was their sound tech for a lot of years...
My friend said that the flaming lips were playing tricks on people at wakarusa. On the tripping people. Some of the shit he told me was fucked. He was tripping pretty hard so he couldn't remember a lot of it though.
have you seen the commentary on VOID? for almost every video they say something like "this would be cool... on ACID" or "those people are on ACID!" you could make a drinking game out of how many times wayne says "psychedelic". and then on their website it says they don't do drugs.... they're oh so mysterious.
hahah yeah even on their last album.... song Mister ambulance driver....dont tell me its not about lsd...not a fan though of their new sound since yoshimi
"waitin for the ambulance to come. hoping that it doesnt come too late. hearing the sirens in the distance. hold on, help is on the way." ??? i was thinking maybe this here giraffe or be my head...
well this part is the one i remembered after hearin the song. This part is like jimi hendrix gypsy eyes *ive been searchin so long my feet made me lose the battle , down against the road my knees they got me. Off to the side I fall but I hear a sweet call , my gypsy eyes is comin and ive been saved...thats why i love you * ... well it could be about the same event if ya want...just different view...The event hahaha but after readin the lyrics i guess Sittin right beside her hopin i was the one that wasnt gonna be here anymore or sometn, youre right...pretty sad muchtheir psychedelic song are on the 4 cd compilation , finally punk rockers are taking acid...pretty much all old stuff, less accessible, but good...Raining Babies, thats one of a fucked up song damn, to see and hear
oh man the flaming lips make such weird music. They're not great musicians, but to me they make great music. It's their weird tones, intent, and style that catch my ear and twirl it around with a rubbery texture. All I've got to say is . . Fuckin' owsley, wow .. . quote from Jimi Hendrix - Bold as love "My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and Ribbons of euphoria Orange is young, full of daring, But very unsteady for the first go round My yellow in this case is not so mellow In fact Im trying to say its frigthened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh, Giving my life to a rainbow like you" Totally about owsleys lsd, no?
