This is a
quote from
The Real Frank Zappa Book by
Frank Zappa and Peter Occhiogrosso.
Originally,
Frank Zappa's band was called "
The Mothers", not "
The Mothers Of Invention". But MGM record executives were sure that the
band would get no
airplay if they didn't change the name.
In the end, the record never got
played on the air anyhow.
