The New York Times ran a great article about the living situation of Wayne Coyne, singer of The Flaming Lips. Apparently, Mr. Coyne does more than make weird music; he lives it. The article tells the tale of how he and his wife came to own a multi-house compound in Oklahoma City in the middle of a crime-infested neighborhood and, through sheer force of will, they turned it into their own little art studio.
Mr. Coyne’s main residence is a two-story, red-brick structure with
a stone gargoyle on the roof. But he has also, over the years, acquired
the three houses behind it, one of which has been painted purple and
converted into storage space, while the others have been turned into
guesthouses. The vacant lots on either side of the main house belong to
him as well. In Flaming Lips circles, the ever-expanding property is
known simply as the compound.
“It’s our firewall,” Mr. Coyne said, standing under a pecan tree in the fenced-in courtyard surrounded by the houses. “It staves off the crack dealers.”
I guess once you get famous you can do whatever you want. Have a great weekend, Indaba! See you on Monday.
