    He was one of the big influences in Laurel Canyon, funnily enough. It must have eventually chapped his hide.

    Mrs. UNM1136's favorite tune when I met her was Dinamoe Humm, the hoped for threesome never panned out....

    But if you actually pay attention to the lyrics...Dinamoe Humm, Goblin Girls, Bobby Brown Gets Down, Tittties and Beer, Catholic Girls, they are all pretty freakin hillarious. I think I may still have in storage a Playboy where he was interviewed. Remember finding out he died...

    I love him for his music, the way he played it, and maybe especially the way he could get other people to play (and sing) it.

    But as pure icing, he was funny as fuck.

    I had dinner with Zappa in October 1987. Frank & Teresa’s Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. We talked about Al and Tipper Gore, politics and European history, among other things, for three hours. A true genius.

    (I had interviewed ‘algore’ on PBS at the Chautauqua Institution the previous summer)

    That would have been fascinating!

    One of my favorite guitar solos.

    It certainly was, but I was younger and dumber and did not fully appreciate the experience until years later.

    Frank Zappa thought it unimportant to be remembered. Sorry Frank. We will remember you for a long time because you made the world a better place to be in.
