The Butthole Surfers didn't play the UK that often back in the day. And when they did, I missed them: damn that shit English Pennine weather! One of life's regrettable moments.
So, 35 years later, the Butthole healing process continues and I finally get to talk to the legendary Pinkus from his home near Asheville, NC.
And what a great chat we had and I'm pleased to report that I'm healed.
We're talking about Meth Mountain and it's younger brother Hillbilly Hill, 1970's cartoons, communal living, keeping the weirdness to yourself, postbag-sized cellphones, what it was like to start from scratch post-Buttholes, identity, psychedelics, the hungry ghost, empathy, freeing ourselves from negative surroundings and people and backing away from unhealthy competition. And probably more.
These days, you’re much more likely to find him with his banjo playing an incredibly powerful and unique blend of solo spacegrass. It's about as DIY and brilliant as you can get.
