The Flaming Lips war with the Truth


The Flaming Lips released their new album "At War with the Mystics". They are considered one of the quintessential psychedelic rock groups making such intriging releases like the 4 CD album Zaireeka.
I heard a short piece of their interview last night with David Dye on the World Cafe as they discussed the meaning of their title "At War with the Mystics".
Listen here
The interesting dialoge happens around the 23 minute mark and goes on for about five minutes. In this segment, Wayne Coyne describes what he thinks of art and how the listener (or viewer) adds to the circle of interpretation. He says,
"Art reaches people who are curious about it's meaning . . . . Instead of me saying it means one specific thing and everybody else is wrong . . . I like the idea that it is sort of subjective."
Enjoy your meaning.
