It seems that Lowell George was fired from the Mothers Of Invention by Frank Zappa because of the lyrics of this song. Why ? I propose my theory. Maybe "Alice" is Vincent Damon Furnier, alias Alice Cooper. Frank Zappa was an idol for Furnier, also because Frank helped him to achieve success. Perhaps the song "willin'" says a little more. There are two expressed alliterations of 4 words : 1) willin' - weed - whites - wine ; 2) Tucson (Arizona) - Tucumcari (New Mexico) - Tehachapi (California) - Tonopah (Nevada). In my opinion a third alliteration of 4 words is implicit in the lyrics : Frank (Zappa) - f****d - (his) friend - Furnier (Alice). And so Lowell George was fired for writing a wonderful song, while Frank went from Straight to Bizarre Records.
