/nothing but the best for my dog

Zappa was militant about cracking down on piracy, however back then it was huge business (people bought & sold pirates in large underworld settings). Today it is largely traded free.

My best Zappa are boots.

I enjoy them because (A) no one profits, except FZ's memory and (B) Gail Zappa and the Family Trust are greedy holes of arse, who dishonor legitimate celebration of FZ's work unless they get paid, and I relish them not getting a dime from me.

Score!

Sorry about the technical glitch early on.

/2 Zappa threads in one day!?

I would just like to say that of all musicians out there I only own the entire catalogue (AFAIK) of Zappa. Closest second is Sinatra, so maybe I just have a thing for music from people called Frank.

/all purchased legitimately of course

Wow. Consider the year he suggested all that? Farking guy was seriously a genius.

The Real Frank Zappa book, (the autobiography cowritten by Peter Occhiogrosso, right?), is pure genius cover to cover. Other chapters included information about how he almost blew his nuts off at age 15, how he was set up for porn charges by the Cucamonga PD, how asshole classical musicians screw things up for modern composers, how the US State Dept. put pressure on Vaclav Havel to remove FZ as an advisor to the new Czech republic, how he met his wife (with the strong implication that she's the business brains of the outfit), how he used Rite of Spring as an intelligence test for his high school friends, ... just chock full of genius.

/Occhiogrosso means "big nose", doesn't it?
//shame on rocinante721 - give the lady her money.

He should have used all that weed he was smoking to come up with a commercially successful album.

This last week end I got turned on to Zappa music at a 3 day house party with tons of Zappa music.

Sounds fake. I can tell by the pixels.

Heads up! Frank Zappa never smoked nor drank.

Zappa was pure genius.

If it wasn't for previous posters in this thread, I'm betting you wouldn't even know Zappa had something to do with music. 1/10.

mongbiohazard: Wow. Consider the year he suggested all that? Farking guy was seriously a genius.

If he was so smart, why did he have such a big moustache?

Close. "Big eye".

Prince should fight tooth and nail against copywrite violators. Copywrite needs to be protected and if it could mean holding off some technological advances.

// well, no.. Frank was a PhD in fetishes, fondling, and general macking

backstage and at after concert parties
Frank was mainly known for his fondnesses and fetishes,
the live music and long hair were macking tools

i'm sure the whole idea sprouted out of his business acumen to benefit mankind and get paid for providing fondling and fetishing by wire...
and today we call that MTV

I'm only in it for the money, so I'm getting a big kick out of these replies.
