Part 3 of 3: Eric has the first full-length interview with Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne following the exclusive, festival-only screenings of the new Flaming Lips movie, “Christmas on Mars.” Also included are clips from “Christmas on Mars,” clips from its pre-advance trailer, and some front row footage of The Flaming Lips’ amazing performance headlining that night. Eric caught up with Wayne Coyne before The Lips took the stage Friday June 6, 2008 at the Wakarusa Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas, where The Flaming Lips set up a special circus tent, served green popcorn, and screened the new Flaming Lips movie “Christmas on Mars” for only the second time ever (the first was just one week before at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in George, Washington). Wayne also talks about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” – The Broadway play.
