There's unfortunately no video record of a fabled exchange between Joe Pyne (talk show host) and Frank Zappa.
According to Pyne lore, he invited his audience to “Say hello to a musician—and I use that term loosely—representing a rock ’n’ roll band known as the Mothers of Invention.”
Zappa, 24, nodded to the booing crowd.
Pyne looked him over and said, “I guess your long hair makes you a woman.”
Zappa shrugged. “I guess your wooden leg makes you a table.”

The Heavy Metal Subculture of Botswana

https://amf.didiermary.fr/heavy-metal-subculture-botswana/

“There’s a competition between them to see who can look the most brutal,” says South African photographer Franck Marshall, who calls his subjects the renegades– ‘an underground minority rebelling against the status quo, redrawing the borders of both Heavy Metal and orthodox culture in Botswana’.

On this day in 1980, the South African government banned Pink Floyd's single 'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)' after Black children adopted the song as their anthem in protest against inferior education.
