Zappa wanted Slick to appear in Captain Beefheart Versus The Grunt People. They had written and recorded Would You Like A Snack? together.
Frank Zappa's house in the canyon, which I visited several times, looked exactly like a troll's kingdom. Fuzzy haired women lounged in long antique dresses, and naked children ran to and fro while Frank sat behind piles of electronic equipment discussing his latest ideas for orchestrating satirical hippie rock music. Never a druggie, Frank openly made fun of the very counter-culture he was helping to sustain.
