[hkusp40]

Listening all those non-essentials brought me back to FZ and his timeless classic about the "flakes". http://youtu.be/RFvtoJrK1Zg

Frank we hardly knew ye...

[Col Frank Slade]

I am the Slime sounds appropriate these days/

[Slump Tester]

Oh boy - Now I can use my Zappa ping list!

[MeshugeMikey]

Id love to hear Frank Perform “Born In K-E-N-Y-A!!

[Rodamala]

How can one not see 0bozo as the Illinois Enema Bandit? Hey, the actual Enema Bandit’s name was Kenyon... no lies.

[Lancey Howard]

In 1968 I traded my ‘Cruising with Ruben & the Jets’ for a mono ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’. Still have it.
I wish I still had ‘Ruben & the Jets’, though.

[Eddie01]

They’re lyin’ and lazy...

[DBrow]

lol I didn’t know you HAD a Zappa ping list! Proud to be on it, Slump!

[To Hell With Poverty]

Oooh, do you have Freak Out in mono too? That’s like the Holy Grail for Zappa fans.

[To Hell With Poverty]

California’s got the most!

[MeshugeMikey]

There are words that fit obamas character and behavior.

Taken individually or in combination...none approach an apt description of the utterly loathsome reality that is barack hussein obama.

The word EVIL comes as close as any such description.

such loathesome posturing must have been his habit since childhood

[Slump Tester]

I lost the big ping list when my hd puked, so I went back and searched FR for posts about Frank, and constructed the new one with names of folks who had replied.

Go back and search on Frank Zappa - you'll be surprised at how many there are.

[DBrow]

Good!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Anyone remember the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band ?

[FlyingEagle]

I’ll be moving to Montana soon
going to be a dental floss tycoon

[FlyingEagle]

Put me on! Put me on the list! Pleeeaaase!!

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Have ya heard the news
(News? What news?)
Can’t afford no shoes
(Got a good deal on tape!)
Have ya heard the news
(News? Can’t afford no paper!)
Can’t afford no shoes

Went to buy some cheap detergent
Some emergent nation got my load
Got my load
Got my toad
That I stowed

Well, well, hey lawdy mama
Can’t afford no shoes
Maybe there’s a bundle
Of rags that I can use
Hey, anybody
Can you spare a dime
If you’re really hurtin’
A nickel will be fine
Hey, everybody
Nothin’ we can buy
Chump Hare Rama
Ain’t no good to try
Recession, depression...

[lefty-lie-spy]

Nice! Hungry Freaks Daddy! I’ll have to add some.

[Bullish]

Back in the early 70s I traded my Rolling Stones album “Goat’s head soup” for my very first Zappa album , “Weasels ripped my flesh”.... Never regretted it for one second. It got me started on a lifelong musical pursuit of everything that wasn’t ‘mainstream’.

[Fiji Hill]

Frank Zappa was involved with this tune, recorded in Cucamonga, Calif., which in those days was a wide spot on Rte. 66 between Upland and Etiwanda, surrounded by vineyards full of red wine grapes as far as the eye could see.
