One of Frank Zappa's dearest wishes was to make a movie called “200 Motels,” about how tours make musicians go insane. Zappa finally made the movie in 1971, and it's a raggedy mess, but there are some brilliant moments, and this video gives you the heart of the movie: a six-minute animated nightmare called “Dental Hygiene Dilemma,” in which bass-guitarist Jeff Simmons is torn between Good (personified by an incense-burning Donovan) and Evil (personified by a Zappaesque demon wearing a crash helmet).
Take some of your favorite medication and watch it. It's a good old time.
God, I wish it were 1971 again.
What am I saying? No, of course I don't!
