One more question: Since we were talking about movies earlier, if you were in charge of casting Flaming Lips: The Movie, whom would you pick to play you, Wayne, Steven and Michael?
That's actually really funny because that's a conversation Steven and Wayne have had a couple of times, and they've actually come up with the actors, and I forget ... I think Morgan Freeman would play Wayne ... oh fuck, man, I don't... and I think it was decided that Jack Black would play me, and, God, I don't remember who it was decided would play Steven and Michael. Obviously, it wasn't a super-serioius discussion, but the end result was that Morgan Freeman would be Wayne. The thinking was that, you know, "He's got a beard and he wears suits a lot and he's got a deep gravelly voice and, so, yeah, he'd make a great Wayne. He's tall and thin..." Jack Black was like, "He's kind of a spazz and a dork, so he'd be a great Kliph."
