He would have been 83 today!

I can still remember the first time hearing his work. What did he say? "Don't eat that yellow snow".

And...
I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From Hollywood

Sounded better when you were

 

[Budnicks]

He was always an extremely weird duck/dude...
Never cared at all for him or his music.

Frank “cleaned up” pretty good when debating the U.S. Government after being prodded by Mrs. Tipper Gore to add “Parental Warnings” to music records.

Frank did put out a lot of albums, many with The Turtles singers Flo & Eddie, good harmonies there!
Long live Billy was a Mountain.

I did see that clip a few years ago. Yes weirdly creative.

most every girl in the front rows threw their panties on the stage......... Frank was picking them up with one of those extension/grabber thingies I bought the wife........

[eldubb440]

[AR67GTX]

That’s a lot more sedate, cleaned up, Frank Zappa than I remember from back in the mid-late 60s. I had friends who were fans but he was just too strange for me.
