Butthole Surfers - “The O-Men”
Butthole Surfers - “Creep in the Cellar”
“Everywhere we played, we were the opening band, but people were just flipping out. Eddie wore army shorts, white Doc Martens, and a Butthole Surfers Locust Abortion Technician T-shirt every fucking day for the whole tour. He washed his clothes in the hotel room sink. He had a hole in the ass of his shorts, which he gaffer-taped. After every gig, he was shell-shocked because he was giving it his all.”

A few days later, I was back home at a stoplight with my 7-year-olds, Lewis and Augie. They asked the question every father has to answer sooner or later: ‘Dad, did you know there’s a band called the Butthole Surfers?’
This looks like it’ll be a cool show. No word yet on who’ll play Mudhoney.
