It's very much an "in the mood" album. But, when I'm in that mood.... :biggrin:

God, you're so moody these days. Have you not been practising your solo symphonies or something?

In other news, I'm a great fan of the 'Guitar' albums.



(Don't be scared kids, we all wore shirts like that in the 80s).

This band with Arthur Barrow, and Ray White is probably my favourite line-up.

Upon my phonogram, Mr Zappa is currently letting fly a few noodles within the story of the Illinois enema bandit. :biggrin:

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...

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
