In his 30-plus-year career, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has gone from a glassy-eyed twenty-something grinning through his first Letterman appearance to a technicolor-dreamcoated master of ceremonies in a near perpetual state of performance. Whether it's releasing an album meant to be played on four stereos simultaneously, or crowdsurfing in an inflatable bubble, or collaborating with the likes of Moby, Kesha, Henry Rollins, and plenty more, Coyne's career choices have been anything but conventional.
