Baby Snakes - A Movie About People Who Do Stuff That Is Not Normal Beta Video Cassette

When it comes to home video, has the American public been left with no alternative? Frank Zappa, who's built his career creating alternative entertainment, has the answer. Honker Home Video!

"I always believed that there would be a medium called 'home video' even before there was a marketplace for it. I think that it's a mistake to assume that everybody in the U.S. who watches television, likes what they watch. There's a substantial portion of the American public that watches broadcast TV and wishes they were getting a little bit more bang for their buck – or a little bit more content. That's why there is a market for home video, as an alternative to the brainwashing that comes out of the box." - Quote from Jim Bessman interview: Billboard, May 1990
