I suspect Nesmith was a little too influenced by his time hanging out with this gentleman.

You know a non-music thing that always annoyed me about Zappa? He was always so hoity toity about not doing any drugs, but he smoked cigs like a fiend.
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

I love when it just gets downright weird.

The whole thing is just weird and confusing all around but the final 30 seconds are the icing on the cake.

My dad kinda forced me to watch "Elephant Parts" when I was like 5 years old. He loved Nesmith -- now I just have these hazy memories of how weird the thing was.
