Few people pay them credit today, but the fact is that Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention set the stage for a lot of the rock ‘n’ roll that emerged in the early part of this decade. Specifically what they did was wear dresses on the cover of their We’re Only In It For The Money album in 1968.
KISS ROOTS
Few people pay them credit today, but the fact is that Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention set the stage for a lot of the rock ‘n’ roll that emerged in the early part of this decade. Specifically what they did was wear dresses on the cover of their We’re Only In It For The Money album in 1968. That simple. While it may be hard to believe, nobody else had done anything quite as outrageous (and on such a scale) at that juncture in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. Even the most dedicated of the rock rebels wondered in their heart of hearts: “What are they? Transvestites or something?” They weren’t. The Mothers were just carrying on in the grand rock tradition of shock and defiance. Nevertheless, it took a year for it to soak in at all.
