What's LSD?
locker style edit:
The cover of Weasels is great! The album isn't one of his best.
"My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" is excellent, though!

In his later years he both wrote and conducted classical music?
Lots of stories characterized him as running a tight ship.
His guitar playing sure reflected that disposition.

I liked Filmore East - pretty good. But how many of you took your parents to see the Frank Zappa movie 200 Motels at a theater in Hollywood while in high school? Ha - was that ever a scene.......

I just thought I would stop at 17!

Always thought he looked more like Bridwell (Zappa, that is)
Re: Zappa's tight ship
"Frank, how do you get the money to buy all these instruments?"
"Simple. I don't do coke."
Also, my girlfriend requests more PotterPorn™™, got anything else taped to the stall door at fish products HQ?

Friggin' great.
But no "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life"?
I wouldn't have been able to stop until I got at least to that one...
Hmm, now I'm Jonesin' for some Carolina Hardcore Ecstacy ...
And, I know that FZ didn't do dope, but that picture that Russ has of 'im, damn those eyes are pie'd.

Ya, LSD and Zappa music make the perfect defense for when Rodger and Ron get pitons banned in the Valley and I go postal...............

I wish my dad had named me Dweasel.
A fun Zappa story (don't know if its true -- may be urban legend). Frank challenged a concert audience to a gross out contest. Some girl from the audience climbs up on stage, lifts her dress and plops a big dookie. So Frank walks over, picks it up and eats it.
Zapped!!
