| − | "One never knew what to expect, there were some nights that you just heard pure music, and other nights, Motorhead'd be talking about fixing his car, with Jim Black's drum beat in the background. Sometimes Frank would just sit in a chair and glower at the audience. Sometimes there were more people on stage than there were in the audience, and because of that, Frank even got to know some of us by name! There were so few hard-core Mothers freaks then, that we were all very noticeable to him. I remember Stravinsky being played, I remember droning music going on for ages, and then in the middle of all of that, the song that then became 'Oh No, I Don't Believe It', sort of breaking through the clouds, and I mean it just shocked me, how anything could be so beautiful, and how such beautiful music could come out of such bizarre looking people."</blockquote><div align=right>[[Ruth Underwood]]</div>

| − | Mentioned in [[My Brother Is an Italian Mother]] ([[Jazz & Pop]], 1968, [[Bobby Zappa|C. R. Zappa]]): "''During their stay in [[New York]], the Mothers successfully performed for six months at the [[Garrick Theater|Garrick Theatre]] doing a cleverly animated, pornographically delightful musical review. Some people liked it so much they came back repeatedly. Two [[Long Island]] school boys, affectionately dubbed [[Loeb & Leopold|Loeb and Leopold]], held ticket stubs for some sixty-five performances. A classic study in compulsive behavior. But there were those who reacted rather violently to the show. One flaccid matron was sure that the Mothers were secretly anti-christ Commie swine bent upon polluting crew-cut American pubertines. Here authoritative observation was made on the basis of one evening's performance (to the tune of $3.50).''"
