JD Pinkus on Ronald Jones & his rig, bluegrass "Turn It On" and touring w/ The Flaming Lips in 1993

JD Pinkus of The Butthole Surfers briefly discusses recording of the bluegrass version of "Turn It On" with The Flaming Lips, touring with them in 1993 alongside Stone Temple Pilots, and his memories of Ronald Jones. I spoke to Wayne Coyne to find out more details about the bluegrass interpretation of "Turn It On," he believes it may have been recorded backstage at a show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. *Photo & video credits:* Jon Mooneyham, JD Pinkus, MTV, Darren Balch, Joe Giron and Brad Beesley. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Those curious can find all of my Ronald Jones era uploads in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZMHWYQTh_REpWvlLDYIRfaXnSDI6daRg Listen to the Lips open for STP & the Surfers here: https://youtu.be/3Pw9phYsbRo
