Ladies and gentlemen, Ive suffered for my music ... now its your turn.

As I said, when we needed to move over to rock'n'roll, Sam and Vernon couldn't quite make the shift. So that's when Larry took over on drums, and we needed a bass player.

I wasn't aware that Track Records were interested in the Bonzos.

I suppose we all loved those kind of sci-fi movies where terrible things came out of swamps and came to Mars. And there's usually some poor girl. All the guys are trying to desperately handle levers and saying, go to something or other.

I suppose Roger [Ruskin Spear] had the license to do anything that fitted the venue.

But I mean, again, Zappa's far more musical than the Bonzos ever were.

I mean in recent years, I think you've only got to sell thirty or forty thousand to get a #1.
