The Residents were a group of five friends who split up after high school to pursue college, grunt jobs, and draft evasion. They re-grouped to plot strategy and were inspired by James Brown and Bo Diddley. They headed to San Francisco in 1966 to escape the Southern scourge of George Wallace, but their truck broke down in San Mateo. In California, they saw the psychedelic revolution and became inspired. They got their name "The Residents" from a joke about their landlady asking if they were the "residents" of their apartment.
