The Butthole Searchers. No, not these guys. (Memo to self: Everybody knew you were gonna do that. You have become too predictable. You must adjust the formula for 2022. Perhaps a reintroduction of psychedelics might be in order?) Yes, there are fissures amongst the anal historians. There are the origanalists, and those who believe that […]
