UUUHHH OOOOhhHHH
The best guitarrist uncomprehended composer fully exiting music at all.
Here in Brasil there is a band that plays it very very hard, Ike Willis came once to play with them.
The Central Scrutinizer Band, I guess.

Zappa is one of the most influential musicians in my opinion, unfortunately sometimes underrated...
I will never forget Amsterdam's Philarmonic Orchestra playing some of his most interesting work. Surreal.

loved the guy and I don't really know much of his music. I love Apostrophe. Some of the funniest, well written, funny and funky tracks. Some of it even reminds me of the Beastie Boys jamming.

also was on the best SNL I ever saw. Zappa and the Coneheads. Priceless.

"You 're presuming, as most Americans do, that cynicism is a negative value. I happen to think it's the only thing that will enable a person to survive the late 20th century. If you demand to be shown verification for everything people tell you, you're going to take it up the poopshoot every time you turn around. Cynicism is good for you. It's healthy. Who needs friends? All they do is borrow money from you.

zappa will always be one of the greatest. I didnt realise it was 10 years but I am listening to hot rats by coincidence (on which Beefheart plays also)

I once saw Frank Zappa's work at a Planetarium Star show, it was quite weird, but entertaining. Everything was triggered in real-time according to the change-ups in his music. Not sure how they did that, maybe along the same lines as MIDI controllers.

what was that song of his that kept saying "Get the Rabbit up the Poop-chute!".
I heard it once after someone had given me some funny tasting paper and things got kinda wierd. Wasn't sure if it was the actual lyrics or if some type of freaky, subliminal, rabbit love shit was being realized in my mind.

was it called, 'The Runner'?

not a clue. If you have a sample, I would love to hear it.
