"I don't want anybody to think this is a freak party," frontman Wayne Coyne says, explaining the band's decision to push back the innovative shows. "It's a very restricted event"
"The job of the Flaming Lips is to get you in a room, get you excited, get you to forget about the world's problems and entertain you for an hour. But if we do that without this pretty radical protection, then we're going to kill you"
"I mean, it seems absurd, but we at first were just doing it as not a joke, but just as a kind of funny thing, and now it's becoming kind of serious and real," Wayne Coyne says
"I think the world is a wonderful, beautiful, insane place," Flaming Lips leader says. "I don't think of the world as being this great punisher that's here to teach us horrible things"
