to many people and musician frank zappa counterculture rant be dangerous and to some sexually charge and stimulate and and still to others tire and bore . somehow and he manage to cut a deal with united artist and film what emerge a a free form musical diatribe on drug and sex and the gap between generation ( musician vs. the common businessman ) and post psychedelic expression . with mtv some 10 year off and this be the only way zappa and his mother ( of invention ) could bring their idea together and but unfortunately it too messy to involve anyone beyond zappa core audience . ringo starr and in frank zappa garb and have some curious speech that attempt to clarify zappa concept of society and and some of the rock music be indeed exciting and but frank z. be far too defensive to be much fun . surely some of these directionless scene be mean to be satiric and but his sense of humor be always undermine by a draggy and self serious need to teach u something . it a post laugh in series of sketch which might have be personally felt out and but they fail to grab hold because and technically and they look terrible . grungy and and undermine by druggy influence and the movie doesn not take shape . besides and bob rafelson and the monkees do this kind of thing first ( and more slickly and to involve a wide audience ) with head in 1968 .
