in his dungeon of despair...prisoners grumble and piss their clothes, scratch their matted hair... a tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away, is all they ever get to know about the regular light in the day.....

13. Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
MUSIC IS THE BEST.

I think my DU name makes my feelings about Zappa quite clear.

Hardcore Zappaholic here. :hi:

15. Briefcase Boogie, anyone?
f*** me with the pen, Harry, you miserable f-ing worm...



Has to be the most offensive song ever - I mean, in terms of intentionally offensive, but still excellent art and music, not offensive in the sense that, say, Clay Aiken is offensive.


With those titties knock knocking, all around the world

19. Billy had two big caves for eyes,
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 01:18 AM by Rabrrrrrr
and a cliff for a mouth that would go up and down
and whenever he laughed he would kick up some dust
and haaaaaaaaaaaaack up a boulder
hack hank
haaaaaaaaaaack up a boulder
hack hack



Yes, he was born next to the frozen beef pies, underneath an autographed picture of Joni Mitchell


I love Billy the Mountain! The original, of course, is graite, but I also love the one on Psychadelic Playground, which has some different stuff. I've always wanted to perform that song, since it's so wonderful and in that great tradition that's mostly out of the country/western tradition of telling a long story in a song-that-isn't-a-song.

20. You know if you did perform it I would go to wherever
the performance was, just to see it done live. It's my favourite story/song. A long time ago I had a crush on Billy - can you imagine? What a dumb kid I was.

25. Charter member here...
of the First Church of Appliantology. I sometimes work at Joe's Garage, and...

i am the slime! I have a snake for a pet, the first noteworthy piece of real estate I destroyed was Edwards Air Force Base, and sometimes people on the strip of 100 motels refer to me, in their tacky little daddy's bottom drawer pamphlets, as the Grand Wazaa of the cult of pancake breakfasts.

May St. Alphonso bless you and protect you all from margareen thieves.

27. You work at Joe's Garage? As the lawn man?
Joe's garage was on the side of Joe's mother's house.

I used to use a phrase out of 200 Motels as a sig line ("God have mercy on the people in England, for the terrible food these people must eat...") until a British person on a list I was on complained that I was being xenophobic for writing that. Uhh...I've eaten at the Royal Corps of Signals dining hall in Cheltenham, and Zappa was right. But every time I'd point out how bad these poor fuckers were being fed, they'd say I was right and then bring up the Spam omelets* our mess sergeant invented.

* The Berlin Brigade food distribution warehouse had this nasty habit of finding weird shit from the World War II contingency locker and forcing it on the units. One month it was canned limas, cases and cases of canned limas. Another month it was enough spam to give every unit 500 pounds of spam. So they diced the shit up and put it in omelets. The spam omelet is as nasty as it sounds.
