Gibby was studying economics or something at university when they formed, and i think Paul Leary was studying too (someone will no doubt correct me) so they werent REALLY rednecks, i imagine that just being from texas and making druggy music like that would have been enough to make people find them disturbing back in their early days. They used to project images of penis surgery on the walls when they played after all.
It is kinda sad how thanks to the internet bands cant self-mythologise anymore, buying into the whole "Buttholes as band of feral marauding rednecks set free by punk and Captain Beefheart" was probably very alluring before you could check out the reality on your iphone *sigh*
