If they were sending the statue to Chicago, someone could ride his face all the way there.

It's sad that Frank never realized his dream of becoming a dental floss tycoon.

Even more ironic, seeing as he spent the last years of his life fighting to defend the Constitution of his own country.

Anybody know what neighborhood he was from? I only found out recently that David Byrnes (Talking Heads) lived in my hometown and graduated from the same high school as me.

Just curious...

I know he lived in Edgewood which is northeast of Baltimore in Harford County.

This is all good and well, but has anyone checked with Gail about this? I'm sure she's already banded her legal team together to blast this thing out of the water.

I miss him and his music, and you're right sick of ZFT too

The world is worse for not having Frank's voice as part of this obscenely ridiculous election cycle.

Come back, Frank. We need you.

I hope they follow the suggestion of the third comment in TFA and replace the Penn Station creepstrosity with the Zappa statue.

According to the article, Gail's fine with it. Odd, considering she's usually a major control freak and tends to be a major bummer about anything the ZFT doesn't originate.

In a Zappa thread?

With the name of the song in the quote?

It's very sad, steel guitars, usually weep all over it.

Be careful not to leave the straps too loose! Or he just might box your nose, or leave you a pile of dog biscuits!
