...hey what can you say? Rock'n'roll, it's a lifestyle...and besides Zappa said it years ago: Jazz ain't dead, it just smells funny. I guess the same is happening to rock...

I can only hope that one day, i'll be as skilled as that guy.
Didn't Mr. Zappa call his daughter Moon Unit?

I see Modern Humorist is getting into syndication, selling their content services to VH-1. Weird.

I never understood the whole facination with this band. I guess I am just a square.

pnevares: Ahmet hosted WebRiot, Dweezil and Ahmet hosted USA's failed "X Show" Happy Hour. Just keepin' it real.

Moon Zappa has had a fairly successful career in movies.

Frank Zappa did two kinds of music and they were completely unrelated. There was the Rock, of course. (Ah, that takes me back: "Lumpy Gravy" and "We're only in it for the money". The Mothers of Invention.)

But there was also serious orchestral music. He always wanted that to be more successful, but there wasn't a lot of interest in it. I understand it was extremely sophisticated.

But then, his rock music was also very sophisticated, at least in the early days. And then there was 200 Motels which is easily the strangest film I've ever seen.

(None of which has anything to do with Phish, whatever the heck that is.)
