Which is roughly equivalent to saying 'Stainless steel is the best material

that information is of no use to me.

     Last night there was a live interview with Frank on KPFA radio in 
California (not sure where in California). I called Pumpkin to wish Frank a
happy birthday yesterday and they said it was going to start at 9pm and since
I live here on the East Coast, is there anyone who taped it so I could get a
copy or just heard it and would like to post a few of the important questions
and comments? It would be greatly appreciated.

last Monday nite PARTYING, playing Zappa records all night. 

I missed the event last year, when they THOUGHT it was Frank's 50th
birthday, until somebody told them ;-)

For the records -- I think I remember reading in an interview that Frank
had said he'd never celebrate his 50th birthday, but he just might throw
a mega-party on the 51st. Can anybody confirm this, or is my memory
playing tricks with me? Wishful thinking...

  Hi Folks,


      Anyone else see the Bruins-Rangers game on Sunday night? The Organist
played 'Peaches En Regalia' for about 45 seconds during a stoppage in play.
Who says Frank gets no airplay!!

      Of course, it sounded kind of cheesy on a pipe organ with a canned 
drum beat, but still, its better than 'Rock N Roll Part 2' for the 8

I'm finally getting into FZ's stuff.  I like all of the "standard" tunes you 
hear (My guitar Wants to Kill Your Momma, Moving to Montana, and one other
which escapes me) and want to know where to go next.  

On a whim, I bought _Jazz_from_Hell_ and like the whole album (The first track
took two listens, the third three, and I'm still (after four) not crazy about
the second).  I just recently picked up _Weasels_Ripped_My_Flesh_, because it
has MGWTKYM.  After one listen, the jury is still out, but leaning towards
"Not crazy about the the album as a whole, but it has some great tracks."

What about his symphonic or classical stuff? or any of the _You_Can't_Do_That_
_on_Stage_Anymore_ series?

Thanks for the info.

   The organist might not have had a clue what he was playing. "Peaches"
is transcribed in a lot of Real Books that I have seen. Or are they Fake
Books? Anyway, he could have just been playing a tune in there not
knowing squat about Frank.

Try listening to it -- Murder by Numbers *IS* embedded within Stolen Moments,

======================================================================

 I've heard no mention of this here yet so I'd thought I'd do my best
 to transcribe the flyer for those of you interested in Zappa goings
 on. They did say that he is not expected to appear but I'm certainly
 hopeful that he'll feel well enough to come and hear his music at
 Lincoln Center.

Heh.  It's like that in his new(or at least for me) Mode books.  All that 
talk about "panties and diapers and private parts" shows an interesting side
of Sci-Fi....
 
Anyone heard of his book "PornuCopia" ?   Might be interesting to see what a 
foray from Piers Anthony into the porn world would be like...

That question has been asked here before, probably several times. As I
recall, the answer has been that because of the subject matter,
PornuCopia is *not distributed* routinely to stores. You *have* to
special-order it! Your local bookstore will do that for you, surely.
If you happen to know who published it (sorry, I can never remember),
you could also order it directly from the publisher.
