Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention on local TV:
July, 1966

The Real Frank Zappa Book p. 79

In Detroit, we did a television show where we were asked to do something perverted: "lip-sync our hit." We didn't have a 'hit,' but the producer said, "Lip-sync your hit--or else." So I asked, "Do you have a prop department here?" Fortunately, there was one.
From it, I gathered an assortment of random objects and built a set. We had been asked to pretend to play either "How Could I Be Such a Fool?" or "Who Are the Brain Police?" so I suggested that each member of the group choose a repeatable physical action, not necessarily in sync with [[or even related to) the lyrics, and do it over and over until our spot on the show was concluded--Detroit's first whiff of homemade prime-time Dada.

Michael Gray Mother! p. 77

On Saturday 16 July, The Mothers again appeared on TV, this time on Dave Prince's Club 1270 show on WXYZ.
