Frank Zappa: 200 Motels video NTSC RC-0

Less a movie than a purposely crude series of musical vignettes and inside jokes for die-hard fans, Frank Zappa informs viewers in the opening scene that "Touring can make you crazy, ladies and gentlemen, and that is what 200 MOTELS is all about."

A Must
Frank Zappa: 200 Motels review If you were around in 1971 then this is a must. An ambitious work that includes rock, classical, ballet and the social commentary Frank is famous for.

Time hasn't been kind to this...
Frank Zappa: 200 Motels DVD for sale Zipping by you like it was an episode of "The Monkees" on a bad acid trip, FZ's 200 MOTELS suffers from being outdated.

Better left as a fond memory
I remember this as much funnier than the viewing I had last night of this DVD offered. While it certainly still has it's moments, the whole thing now seems rather sad.
