I remember playing a tape of Zappa / Mothers Just Another Band from LA (with Flo & Eddie) in the car while driving some work colleagues to a golf outing. None of these guys were shrinking violets, but the bad language and weirdness got to them - they asked me to pull the tape during Magdalena (a song about a guy lusting after his slutty teenage daughter). Too bad you couldn’t select songs on a cassette tape back then - I think they would have liked Billy the Mountain.
Also - back in the college days when we wrote and ran Fortran programs using punch cards and a card reader, I wrote a program using the Mothers’ names as my variables. Programming TA gave me extra credit for it.
Golden Bear -best place to see a band in the history of the universe from the beginning of time until the present day. I lived around the corner above the Infinity surf shop on Main Street- Evy Pratt’s “Avalon Hotel” 35.00 a week. 17 years old
I actually met him briefly once. I forgot to ask for his autograph.
I’m still kicking myself for that.

They would do commentary of the Rose Parade using the KTLA feed. It was hilarious.
