The Flaming Lips frontman on backing up Beck, opening for Tool, and being "the spokespeople for death." Plus: a brief history of disastrous Lips shows in Toronto.
That midday Lollapalooza set was my first big concert experience (beyond local bands in Polish Hall basements). But I loved it. Can’t remember what mainstage set I had to drag my friends away from to catch it. Still have the Lips shirt I bought at that show.

I really miss that version of the band!
I doubt I’d have known if the lineup changed. But I do remember how loose and noisy they were.
