OMG...Bobby Brown is fucking hilarious!

I had no idea Zappa could be so funny! (like I said, I had only heard Hot Rats before now)

Oh god I am the American Dream
With a spindle up my butt till it
makes me scream

1. "But don't fool yourself, girl - it's winkin' at you!"

Don't fool yourself, girl, it's winkin' at you!
Don't fool yourself, girl, it's blinkin' at you!

2. Atoning for your Zomby ignorance earlier tonight?

All what we got here's American made
It's a little bit cheesy but it's nicely displayed....

Zappa: my hero.

3. Well actually hearing Zomby Woof

was what inspired me to write, knowing that there is also a Du'er named Zomby Woof, I put 2 and 2 together....

4. Zappa: Brilliant composer, lyricist, satirist, guitarist.

Truly prodigious. I was at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin for both shows that Frank recorded to make the Bongo Fury album. One of the cultural high points of my life.

Man, I miss Austin (and Frank).

5. Lucky Bastidge!

If I had one wish, it'd be to bring Frank back for one more concert (using the 1988 "big" band, of course...). I never got to see him (I was 13 in 1988) but he was my hero at the time, and still remains probably the single most influential figure in my life, after my father. He made me want to BE a musician.....

6. I love that album.

I heard Zappa play several of its songs in concert a couple of years before the album came out. (He was involved in litigation with the record company.) So the first time I heard "Bobby Brown" and "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" was in concert; I laughed my ass off. (IIRC, that was when Adrien Belew was playing with him.)
