Automatic translation:  NEW YORK There is strong talk, as we previously announced, that Frank Zappa will reform the Mothers Of Invention at the Isle of Wight Festival this summer. (Festival where Richie Havens was definitely engaged). Currently the group that accompanies Frank Zappa has taken the name Hot Rats; it consists of Aynsley Dunbar on drums, Ma Bennett on bass, Ian Underwood on organ and Sugar Cane on violin. However, it is with the Mothers that he is programmed on May 8 at the Fillmore East in New York; then on May 15 at the University of California at Los Angeles. It is planned that for this last concert, he will be accompanied by an orchestra of 100 musicians. The Mothers will dance there a Zappa ballet "200 Motels", the story of a threesome between a young man, a young girl and a ... industrial vacuum cleaner (sic).

Tous les festivals interdits
A Valbonne, a Biot et a Aix.
Les incendies sont les causes indirectes de l'interdiction du Festival de Pop Music de Valbonne. Le Préfet des Alpes Maritimes a interdit le Festival qui devait se tenir les 23, 24 et 25 juillet entre Nice et Antibes, près de Biot. Les raisons de la préfecture ont été annoncées par un communiqué que voici : « Les risques graves et permanents d'incendie en zone forestière, l'insuffisance des mesures de salubrité et de sécurité prévus sur ce terrain par les organisateurs, ne permettent pas de délivrer une quelconque autorisation pour ce rassemblement. » L'organisateur ne comprend pas le sens de l'arrêté municipal. Claude Rousseau a vingt-sept ans. C'est lui qui avait mis au point le Festival du Bourget. Nous lui avons appris la nouvelle. Pour lui, c'est une catastrophe. Les groupes américains qu'il a programmés comme Country Joe et les Mothers Of Invention ont été en partie payés.

Automatic translation: All festivals banned
In Valbonne, Biot and Aix.
The fires are the indirect causes of the ban on the Valbonne Pop Music Festival. The Prefect of the Alpes Maritimes banned the Festival which was to be held on July 23, 24 and 25 between Nice and Antibes, near Biot. The reasons of the prefecture were announced in a press release that follows: "The serious and permanent risks of fire in forest areas, the inadequacy of the health and safety measures provided for on this site by the organizers, do not make it possible to issue any authorization for this gathering." The organizer does not understand the meaning of the municipal decree. Claude Rousseau is twenty-seven years old. He was the one who developed the Bourget Festival. We told him the news. For him, it's a disaster. The American groups he programmed like Country Joe and the Mothers Of Invention were partially paid.

Automatic translation: Zappa is a bit like the Zorro of pop music. The vindicator to whom we always turn in times of misfortune. With the Mothers Of Invention he has managed to become one of the most important influences in Pop Music even if the general public has not yet fully appreciated him. On December 15 he performed in Paris, on 16 in Brussels and today 17 in Lille at the Cinéma le Capitole. If you live in the region do not miss the show. (read more)

Automatic translation:  Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention went to Paris; the foreseeable storm did not break out. The Parisians did not deign to pay attention to it. This concert could have been as “underground” as that of the Beach Boys. Fortunately, Zappa enjoys the indestructible consideration of a certain audience who have recognized him as the promoter of a new Pop Music since the publication of the albums "Freak Out," Absolutely Free "and" We're Only In lt For The Money. ". Pop Music took itself too seriously. It was necessary to give it back all its experimental value, all its corrosive power which was seriously beginning to diminish. (read more)

Le passage des Mothers Of Invention à Montreux (Suisse) a connu un dénouement plus que fâcheux : un incendie s'étant déclaré, les 3000 spectateurs présents furent évacués sand dommages, hormis pour trois d'entre eux, blessés légèrement. Mais la quasi-totalité du matériel des Mothers a été détruit. En conséquence, les concerts prévus en France n'ont pu avoir lieu. REPORTAGE PHOTOGRAPHIQUE : DANIEL DECAMPS.

Automatic translation: “200 Motels” is as far removed from the conception of pop films thanks to the Beatles (“A Hard Day's Night”, “Help”) as the music of The Mothers is from that of the Beatles. However, the subject of "A Hard Day's Night" is surprisingly similar to that of Zappa's film: the life of a band on tour. But while Richard Lester (the director of the film) only saw it as a fast-paced life, Zappa sees it as a completely different way of life. The levels of reflection and understanding at which the two men place themselves are quite dissimilar. Zappa analyzes, Lester just watches. (read more)

Automatic translation: Beetheart is a funny guy. He talks to you for hours about what concerns him the most: rainwater, the maternal breast, universal gravity... Such deeply serious subjects can only move us. Even if they seem, sometimes, to be far from the music. Moreover, for him, things are reliable, and making music that pleases genes, makes them happy, is already a kind of contribution to the fight against pollution (that of gray faces). (read more)
