Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

A very confident Moon at 14. Kind of intimidating if I had been 14 and had to talk to her.

I guess he had contractor trouble. They did not have the Interwebz to rate services then

It must have been fantastic for him to finally come across a group of traditional musicians with such great skills and talent after the catalogue of fuck-ups he had to endure with the LSO. Shame it was so close to his death.

He wrote this piece specifically for the Synclavier because he genuinely thought no live band or orchestra could do it justice!



btw, Zappa plays Zappa also play it as a rock track but I can't find a YT of it. :(

Did a fairly thorough search and I can't find a Dweezil version of it. I think there is one somewhere though.

I find him rather sexist, tedious and tiresome. That he could make interesting sounds no doubt. So can my lavatory on occasion. :coffee:

He was sexist - misogynistic to a great extent, misanthropic, independent minded and a pain in the arse. I disliked most of his political and social pronouncements.

But for my money he was a musical genius and I can enjoy his music just for that.
