Profound Friday thought

[CAJUNLAWYER]

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."
Frank Zappa

May he rest in peace. Did you hold a candlelight ceremony a few weeks ago honoring him?

Don't forget the dental floss farm.

What about an official food? Don't all countries have some sort of official food?

 

[wbraswell]

Don't eat the deadly yellow snow!

"A squid eating dough in a plasticine bag is falston booties, got me?.."

"I wonder if infants have as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultry..?"

Caj waxing philosophic?? Must be Friday.

And I'd like to extend an invitation for y'all to visit the great nation that is "WISCONSIN"....now, I'm not so sure 'bout the airline, but heck , we got plenty of beer, and we dang sure got us a football team, too!

I got to see Frank twice in my sordid youth. He is an incredibly underrated guitarist. From what I vaguely remember, the shows were lites-out. Old Paramount in Portland,Or. 70's somewhere.

Saw him twice myself, once in '68 and again in '70, both at the Paramount Seattle. Still have the ticket stubs. The man was a musical genius, and didn't put up with the usual garbage that happens in a rock band. Watched people dancin' the Mudshark in the aisles of the Paramount...Frank called a guy up on the stage to dance with him!

Frank blew creamed corn from his mouth onto the front row audience members (including my wife) at a concert once way back when - man, I'm sorry I missed that....

 

[fiasconva]

Gotta give ole Frank some credit. He sure knew how to name his kids.

 

[hsguy]

Caje, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands. Hard to believe all those in Louisiana that needed suing have been sued.

"The white zone is for loading & unloading only..."

Saw him at Pauley Pavilion New Year's Eve ummm... '78? '79?

The whole '70s are just a little fuzzy around the edges for me...

One of my favorite Frank Zappa stories involves a huge concert before a bunch of tie-died hippies as the Vietnam War was still on the nightly news. Some servicemen in uniform walked in, and a bunch of the peace-loving chemically-impaired longhairs in the room started booing.

Zappa waved down his band and let silence fill the room, then said over the mike in his most disdainful deadpan, "Don't kid yourselves. Everybody in this room tonight is wearing a uniform"

As an aside, tomorrow is the first anniversary of Captain Beefheart's death. He would have been 71 in January.

I'm doing my part. Beer truck drivers play Hail to the Chief on their harmonicas in front of my house every 1st of the month.

 

[jdh]

Would that be American style football, or that game played with a round ball and nets the rest of the world insists on calling football?
