Willie the Pimp

When Hot Rats came out I was, I think, in tenth grade. Peaches was a great song, but the cut that I really loved was Willie the Pimp. Enjoy.

The Torture Never Stops

Sorry. Just listening, at ear-splitting levels, to Frank Zappa's "The Torture Never Stops" - the 16 minute version on You Can't Do That on Stage Any More Vol. 1.

I gather no one buys CDs anymore, but the YouTube video doesn't come close. You need to play it through a good stereo and turn it up LOUD.

I can almost smell the old Fillmore East.

Happy Halloween (Part 2)!

Frank Zappa played in New York on Halloween for years, and I went every year. It's therefore particularly appropriate that I wish you Happy Halloween with "Goblin Girl."

It Can't Happen Here?

If you haven't been following the thoughtcrimes trial of Mark Steyn, you should be.

My Ship of Love Is Ready to Attack

Those of you who know and love this song will know to what I'm referring to.

Watermelon In Easter Hay

Some days, you just need to hear some Frank Zappa.

I Think It's Your Mind

Little Green Footballs has a post reporting that a "presentation sponsored by the Yellow Pages . . . claim[s] that Frank Zappa was a Muslim."

I don't think so.

But it does give me an excuse to post on Zappa, complete with cool "Sheik Yerbouti" album cover.
