Top ten de atrapados con las manes en la masa (Top ten caught red-handed)
By ?, p 38

Automatic translation: FRANK ZAPPA: he was arrested in 1963, after offering to make a porno film for 300 dollars to a undercover agent of Sen Bernardo's police. The agents entered his studio and found "lewd content tapes" that he was making in the company of a 19-year-old Lorraine Belcher. Sentenced to six months in prison, he served 11 days before being released on probation (this circumstance exempted him from military service). For two years, he was prohibited from being in the company of a woman under the age of 21 unless a "competent adult" was present.

Krautrock: guía iniciática para jóvenes consumidores (Krautrock guide for young consumers)
By Jaime Gonzalo, pp 50-56

Page 55. Automatic translation:
Mothers Of Invention & Frank Zappa
Zappa was from his beginnings very popular in Germany, where the discs of the Mothers were distributed punctually. Politically, Zappatista thought pervades all the ideological verbiage of Kaiser and activist bands like Floh from Cologne, Faust's discography is prolific in allusions to the collages and electronic hardware of the Mothers, Irmin Schmidt from Can discovered his rock vocation while hallucinating with «Freak Out". The prosperous and paradoxically revolutionized Germany of the 60s was an excellent breeding ground for born anarchists like them, regular visitors to the German stages whose influence on krautrock is more substance than form.
