I just don't want there to be too many Frank Zappa related threads. They should all be merged, so that we don't have multiple threads regarding Frank Zappa, unless of course they're critical of his misogyny and general meanness, in which case there should be six or seven of them. :-)
“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

The only good thing that can be said about Frank Zappa is that he didn't play golf .

Here's the next video in your continuing Zappa education.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

By the way, all the lyrics are here

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

Don't mind your [...]
On your hand
Moo-ahhh

Baby take your teeth out
You look divine
MOO-AHHH
Baby take your teeth out
You look divine
Baby take your teeth out

Boiling water kills germs

Baby take your teeth out
I will recline
Baby take your teeth out

My favourites, actually, are mostly ones without any words at all! (Montana being a huge exception!)

Listening to Road Tapes now, Helsinki 1973. I saw Zappa only once, about 1974.

I always planned to see him live but never did. I saw Dweezil on his Zappa plays Zappa tour. The next best thing.

Never saw Zappa, but I did see Flo and Eddie in the mid 70s.
