Lyrics : Introducing...The Mothers [Live on “Piknik” June 18, 1970]
Jan Donkers: Hallo, [Dutch intro]. Frank, in a certain way it's surprising to see you back again because last year it was announced that The Mothers had broken up. Why did you break up the group in the first place last year?
FZ: Do you really want me to tell you or do you just want something entertaining?
Jan Donkers: Well tell me, lots of people are interested.
FZ: Well, there are a whole bunch of reasons. It may interest you to learn that the last Mothers Of Invention tour with the old personnel came out ten thousand dollars in debt at the end of the tour, that's one of the reasons. Let's hear it for The Mothers Of Invention!
The Mothers: Hooray!
Jan Donkers: Where was the tour, in America?
FZ: Yeah, it was an American tour and I must say we definitely weren't going first class any place but we just had a very high overhead, a lot of equipment to drag around and uh . . .
Jan Donkers: America doesn't like you probably, no?
FZ: No, no, not quite as much as here.
Jan Donkers: Aren't you concerned about your anti-American image then?
FZ: Well, not enough to be dangerous.
Jan Donkers: [Dutch translation] A lot of— Happier question, there— Why did you form another group then this year?
FZ: Oh, I thought it'd be fun.
