Despite the current trajectory of Butthole Surfers, the reissue Psychic…Powerless…Another Man's Suck, Rembrandt Pussy Horselive EP PCPPEP, Leary and Haynes were adamant that the move was not used as a one-off tour or a return to a regulated touring schedule. In the aforementioned conversation, Leary said, “I'm getting six-figure offers to play live.”
He continued, “But I don't want to do it. We're really lucky we didn't end up in jail, and I don't want to force it any further.'' I don't want them to send me back home or the venue burns down.'' Haynes added, “I have a 13-year-old son and he's the light of my life. , that's great. Little league baseball and middle school basketball? Hey, that's bullshit.”
Haynes also said: He took too many drugs. He completely ruined the deal. It's my fault. It's on me. ” Leary supported his bandmates, adding: We are good people, but we are messed up and damaged. ”
