All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Today is the anniversary of the birth of one of my all time heroes, Frank Zappa, born Dec. 21, 1940.
I wouldn't even know where to begin expressing how much Zappa has meant to me. It's more than just his music (though I love his music to no end). It's his approach to music, his approach to forming a band. Listening to and reading about Frank taught me that a musician should be able to play any song in any style at any time. His bands were the ultimate in musical chameleons, able to turn on a dime from a blues band to a reggae band to a jazz band to a metal band, etc. Anything could happen at any time and often did. Most importantly, he taught me that there is always room for humor in art.
More than just the music, I admire FZ's dedication to free speech, taking on obscenity trials in England and the PMRC here in America.

Thanks for that ode to Zappa. It was well put.
NP: Well Be O.K.- Bayside
Thanks.
It's a bit understated as I could go on all day about Zappa. I suppose another way of looking at is this.. If Fruno and myself are both into Zappa, it says something as the two of us are both pretty serious about music.
Happy birthday FZ.

"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.
