The Residents Mole Show Riverside Interview With Penn Jillette

[@HighPeerAeon]

Penn: "I am allowed pretty much a personal opinion..." *green eye shaking his head no*

[@Atma505]

Penn Jillette was a perfect frontman for the Residents, it's great to see him come out in front of what many might consider a very intricate and self-absorbed performance, and explain the backstory in a minute or less, opening it up to everybody right off the bat. I wonder if the motel anecdote (3:21) is all true, "I hated it... it was very foreign to me, and after a week of being in that room, I began to like it..." Hahaha, I love it!

[@alexjohnson9798]

Penn Jillette seems to be involved in every counterculture thing

[@kraftyhandz]

Some of the best art to ever grace this earth

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

The shoulder pat is GOLD.

[@variache]

I love how he just talks about it as the band members just observe random objects silently

[@konami1979]

Penn looks and sounds so young in this video.

[@Lopfff]

I know, he’s a baby!

[@DA-dw5zn]

I put a pen drawing of the Residents stood behind a mole in my art exam display at school. The teacher didn't rate it but I did. I wish I'd seen the Mole Show but I got the pic disc & Intermission.

[@scottconnors8419]

Glad I got to see them few times 1st was this Moleshow 80" I think it was,last time was wormwood shows 99"😢

[@fratermanix]

amazing unique music/cabaret in surreal mode at its best, reminiscent of different eras and with dark undercurrents of mystery.

[@Anophis]

Been a big fan since childhood and this is still one of my favourite videos of em. I have the 'Eyes Scream' documentary on VHS. Great stuff - You see how playful and inquisitive they can be! So much emotion in their actions, even behind masks!

[@Atma505]

oh, sweet, the recordings are here on YT, too this is excellent, thank you

[@BGNOLA]

"Are any of them gay?" Yes, behind the eyeball masks they're the Village People.

[@walwilliams5534]

It was '83/'84. Saw them at The Hollywood Palladium. "Everybody in the whole cell block... were dancing to The Jailhouse Rock".

[@erndogee]

The song @the beginning is "the new hyme " and the year was 1982. I caught the mole show in LA on Halloween nite.

[@diskochimp]

Thanks... I saw this on TV as a kid & have wondered about it ever since! :)

[@slnd666]

the ralph records 30th anniversary recording was pretty surreal. he went from indifferent to loathing to being their self-rpoclaimed number one fan haha

[@gogoyubari366]

I saw the Mole Show with Penn and Teller hosting.

[@nicolasmrn]

Hundred of years ahead of their time.

[@meatlejuice]

Ahaha Blue-Eye patting Penn on the shoulder is great

[@LarzGustafsson]

Quite unique.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

[@floresmaya4563]

5:02 yes!

[@willmadzier2484]

Is that a face inside at 4:40?

[@alanboro]

Go to 3:14 and pause.... and tell me if Im wrong... but.... Penn looks like eddie vedder from pearl jam!

[@rob-profoundlydapper1619]

[@Light_Lead-b3v]

What was the song at the very beginning of the video?

[@ODSTALCAPWNED]

Insane Clown Posse

[@comradeScallion]

[@slnd666]

[@mickenassjo]

Ain't Randy their frontman?

[@arcrs40]

[@Ramblin-Man]

Stupid questions. It's been well known since the mid 80s (at least) that they never were a foursome.

[@LFrench]

This is from the early 80s
