Forbes Interviews The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne

The Flaming Lips‘ Wayne Coyne is a counter-culture legend whose band has been the sunny face of candy-coated psychedelia for a generation now. So of course he’s granted a long-overdue interview to the defining magazine of today’s freaks and weirdos: Forbes. The interview was conducted on Coyne’s birthday, at a technicolor rave hosted by the band at Los Angeles’ Mack Sennett Studios, an event Coyne describes as a “reason to have unicorns and castles and naked slaves running around.” In addition to the party, the interview focuses on how technology has impacted the band and delves into some of Coyne’s influences and inspirations.
