stage in NY at the 70s... i dont know if its true... but it sounds kinda
shocking..



     That's the biggest myth in all of prog, a "gross-out" contest between
Zappa, sometimes with Alice Cooper, over who could be most gross...in
this myth, an audience member poops onstage, and Zappa outdoes him
by consuming the tasty morsel. Patently absurd, perhaps spawned by the
fact of Frank having once posed for a photo on a toilet, which became
one of THE iconic posters of the 60s. Frank himself commented, "The
closest I ever came to eating sh*t was a Holiday Inn buffet luncheon".

I read somewhere that Bill Bruford left Yes in '72 because he thought the band was moving towards a direction that was too much commercially oriented  

It is true. I heard the same from one of the radio interviews with YES members. YES direction on "Close To The Edge" seemed commercial only to Bill Bruford, it doesn't mean the band was commercial in general.

 

No, he just felt he and the band had accomplished the best that they could possibly accomplish at that point.  They had reached their peak, and there was no topping themselves from there, it was all downhill.  In a way, he was right. Although they still had 3 great albums in them after he left, Close to the Edge and Yessongs was their peak.
