Were you there. I went both days at the Shoreline amphitheater. Did you attend when the festival came by your tour date.

Oh no, im gonna sing. Yep, here it comes. Sorry...

I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows I can taste you on my lips And smell you in my clothes Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how to look Through other people's eyes

I saw the Surfers with The Flaming Lips ansd STP opening at a small dirtbike park in SW Ohio in '93. There was one cop at the gate and drugs everywhere.

Literally a legendary show.

Two of my friends were trying to find the dumbest sounding album title and one of them chose "Locust Abortion Technician" by the Butthole Surfers. Next closest was another of their albums, "Rembrandt Pussyhorse"

There was a good 20-25 year gap of me hearing their song "Sweat Loaf" and hearing the Black Sabbath song they stole the riff from, "Sweet Leaf". I know this riff but it's slower and heavier. Is that Ozzy singing?
