The Story Behind: Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention - We're Only in it for the Money

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Frank Zappa assembled the Mothers to make anti-authoritarian, anti-hippie, anti-commercial music. This record is unlike anything else you will hear. The boys discuss the avant garde, skewering 60s culture while it's at its peak, and of course, pretentiousness in music.
