Avant-garde rockers The Residents are in an extended celebration of their 40th anniversary. Dad Rock cohost Patrick Foster and friend Dave Bishop caught up with Homer Flynn, the head of Cryptic Corporation, which manages the affairs of the band that famously performs in costume (eyeball helmets, anyone?) under the "theory of obscurity."
