Meat Puppets

The Meat Puppets are LEGENDS. Not “legends” in the bloodless, art- school dropout, CMJ-darling, lower-east-side-fashion-plate sense of the much overused word...but LEGENDS in the sense that bazillions of people actually love them just for being themselves and doing whatever suits their skewed tastes, prods their warped senses of humor and echoes their unique experience as blotter-addled, southwestern desperados with guitars, on a vision quest beyond the punk rock beyond where the spirit animals of CSN&Y, Black Flag and the Louvin Brothers crouch together by firelight beneath the mesa, throwing dice made of chicken bones and racing giant desert cockroaches for money.
