THE BLUNT OBJECTS OPEN FOR THE FLAMING LIPS, Ed's Lounge 704 Sunset, East Lansing MI, January 24 1987. Yes, the Flaming Lips have been playing for that long, and in 1987, the Blunt Objects opened for them, as evidenced by this scrap of paper that once was a flyer for a show. This show took place in the famous "Ed's Lounge" house, where many a national act performed on their way through East Lansing. Artist unknown, probably Lou Seligman.
