Without FZ's body, it's a bust.

Nah, I think it'll work out OK.

This has been in the Baltimore Sun forever.

"She should love that I'm a director and rapper.
Not be dumb enough to ask 'Who was Frank Zappa?'"

From one of my friend's songs - "I Need a Girlfriend"
I guess Baltimore can't be his girlfriend.

and just for fun (and because FZ is a big influence on this guy)

"She should love smokin doobies,
watchin weird movies,
and when she's out with her friends
never ever show boobies

No text messages, thats like passin notes
but call me up on the phone
to tell me about an email that our congressman wrote"

ok i'll stop now

Frank Zappa's head would be a good addition to Futurama.

tlay: Frank Zappa's head would be a good addition to Futurama.

I agree, but who would do the voice? :-(

TFA: The cost of creating and shipping the bust is estimated at $50,000 (£25,000)

I played a jazz festival in Lithuania and I can tell you, they worship FZ over there. There are graffiti pictures of him stenciled all over the city of Vilnius. And a bust of his head prominently displayed.

Cool.

FTA--"I think it's incredibly generous," said commissioner Steve Ziger. "I find the piece a good piece of art that I think we would be honoured to have here. We just need to find an appropriate placement."

I'm not real familiar with a lot of his music, so unless there's an inside joke here, the 'Who?' comment in the headline fails.

Let's move it to Cleveland.

I think this is great, maybe they can put it near the other FZ statue in Baltimore and have a Zappa district? - a Zappaparka?
Am I correct about there's already a statue there? * or maybe I'm thinking aboot this one?
hmmm.. maybe I donno what I'm talking about. I've been told that before.
