Ya got me.. Zappa's CV prolly stopped (for me) with
She's Leaving Home - forget album, Hot Rats, Weasels Ripped My Flesh and a few others. Never could remember much beyond the 'event', performance - it was one o' those Happenings, Man !! Now there was.. a SF performance when the crowd wanted Louie Louie, and Z. was so pissed at the banality - they cut it reeel short. Loved. It.
Dominus Vo-bisque 'em
Et come spear a tu-tu,
(Gilbert & Sullivan drop acid)
[link|http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~splat/Ian_Underwood.html|Ian Underwood] I knew when he was playing Mozart! (piano) and I saw him at Zappa's a couple times in the '70s.. but our different planets overlapped only slightly: the satire we both grokked to fullness, o'course. But re the music - I'm a conservative. 12-tone was hard enough :-\ufffd
Ian's was a flat-out example of, tuning in / dropping out / overnight. Kewl er blow your mind is the translation.
So I flat-out missed your ref. and winged it on 'weather' - lame, but improvisation is all there is - except re-runs ;-)

Zappa Lives! as long as little cheeldrun are being fed a ration of glop and are.. Leaving Home
