Plot
The film deals loosely with life on the road as a rock musician. The Mothers of Invention go crazy in the small town Centerville, and bassist Jeff quits the group, as did his real life counterpart, Jeff Simmons, who left the group before the film began shooting and was replaced by actor Martin Lickert for the film. The style of the film has been dubbed a "surrealistic documentary".
