Frank Zappa

First time - first timer here. I share your appreciation of Frank Zappa's music. Where do you stand on Joe's Garage Act I & II? Like many I had an older sibling (a brother) who made sure I was up to date on what he and his friends were listening too and they in turn, benefitted from older siblings influencing their musical taste. Back to Frank - before Joe's Garage, I was familiar one or two of his songs - Yellow Snow comes to mind, but after listening to Joe's Garage (all 4 sides of the double album) at one sitting I was blown away. Between the lyrics and the hard driving guitars (and every other instrument some of which I'm betting he invented on the spot) it's a treat for the ears. Any road trip of more than 2 hours and into the CD player it goes. Clearly this is a question for the ages; every bit as topical as Hillary finding her thrill on Capital Hill but probably not up there with King of the Hill love it or hate it. Thanks.

I'm Just Living the Dream

I see stars following certain letters... I want one too so having read those letters I think I have a handle on what it takes so here we go: CP you are dumb and a no account sell out. You have turned your back on lesbianism and liberalism and more isms than I can count. You probably get out on the right side of the bed in the morning and are a proponent of turning right on red. The fact that you had something decent to say about Sarah Palin is proof that it is you, not Princess Lea that is the daughter of Darth Vader. You, madam, are a poopy head!
