[00:00:11] Just a few weeks before this show the Pope had announced a ban on birth control pills

[00:00:12] In spite of the persistent rumors that the Vatican had major financial holdings in a Swiss company that manufactured the little devils

[00:00:18] To commemorate this Roy Estrada strides on stage wearing a floor length chain mail dress with enormous aluminum tits and an ornate Catholic ceremonial head dress He is carrying a childs plastic sand bucket filled with SMARTYS

[00:00:23] The British equivalent of M&Ms

[00:00:24] The inscription on the bucket reads NO MORE UGLY BABIES While chanting in Latin he hurls fistfuls of candy into the audience in lieu of birth control pills

[00:00:29] He approaches Ian in his robotically transformed state and begs for an audition as an opera singer with Ians new group claiming that he has to leave The Mothers he's holding the group back because he's a Mexican

[00:00:35] He actually used to think this was true and told me so on several occasions

[00:00:37] FZ：

[00:00:38] Then from out of the corner from the stage comes Roy Ralph Estrada perturbed at the present situation within the Mothers

[00:00:42] Roy Estrada：

[00:00:42] Domino Domino Vo bisqu u u um

[00:00:43] Domino Vo bisqu u u um

[00:00:44] Amen

[00:00:44] Domino Vo bisqum

[00:00:44] Hallelujah

[00:00:44] Et cum spiritu tuo

[00:00:45] Ian I don't think I qualify for the Mothers

[00:00:46] FZ：

[00:00:46] They're making up their lines as they go along isn't it thrilling

[00:00:51] Ian：

[00:00:51] Why Roy

[00:00:52] Roy：

[00:00:52] Because I don't think I'm qualified I think I'm holding the group back because I'm a Mexican and also because I don't play bass good

[00:01:01] Ian：
