AUDIO: Butthole Surfers (1988)
Mark Sinker, Rock's Backpages audio, Spring 1988
What starts off as an interview with Gabby Haynes, Paul Leary, King Coffey, Jeff Pinkus, Teresa Nervosa, and soundman Ric Wallace, talking about their riotous Mean Fiddler show, and their weird fans, and Texas, swiftly evolves into a chaotic conversation involving killer bees, the plague, the firing of TV personality Jimmy the Greek — and is Rick Astley Satan? — via African music, their dancer Kathleen, and the strength of American amphetamines.
