I had the opportunity to attend a forum put on by Nebraska Wesleyan University where Zappa appeared to oppose a local chapter of the PMRC. If memory serves, (this was in ‘85 or ‘86 when I was attending the University of Nebraska at Lincoln) Zappa ran verbal and mental rings around the other panel members and the members of the audience who opposed his viewpoint. It was very entertaining (lots of laughs from the miscreants like me who came to see Zappa as I recall).
He was very gracious and hung out afterwards to meet fans. I was lucky enough to shake his hand and get his autograph on my vinyl copy of “Joe’s Garage”. I sure wish I could find that thing. I think one of my college buddies absconded with it.
“I think one of my college buddies absconded with it.”
Shoot, I lost more than half my vinyl in college. Bunch of d*mn thieves. :-)
