B ut of course, now I'm also seeing Bill's theme here after the recent blizzard up north. Ha! Well done Bill.

A blast from the past! Brings back memories of a Mothers in concert in 1975!

Agree generally with this. I laughed when I heard it playing, so as the once every other year odd track it works, and it IS Zappa, but there is soooo much more of his work out there that could be played. Acquired taste true, but like a good black cup of coffee.

In the RP library, there is only "Joe's Garage" (not too bad), "Camarillo Brillo" (biting), "Montana" (not played for five years), and this. "Yellow Snow" is tired worn-out underground and college radio stuff. Everyone has heard it. You can go with the winding guitar stuff from the "Shut Up and Play" discs, but that's going to send a lot of listeners to the mute button. You could punch some material from "Sheik Yerbouti" but that's dated. But please please please - retire this one in favor of something else.

I have to share this Zappa story. I read it shortly after he passed and it is just so typical of him. Very early on in his career he appeared on an extremely right wing Saturday morning radio talk show out in California knowing full well he was about to be ridiculed and "made an example of" by the one legged army veteran that hosted the show. Almost as soon as he came on the show the host "quipped" "You have long hair you must be a girl" and Zappa shot back without missing a beat "You have a wooden leg you must be a table". Freakin Zappa- you gots to love it however it comes

"Yellow Snow" is tired worn-out underground and college radio stuff.

Yup. Some of the music is still great, but the ado shock lyrics are rather passé.

Zappa is great. I saw him at UBC in Vancouver in 1975. They did a skit about undressing at the border not too long after I had to drop my drawers at the Detroit tunnel. Entertaining.... I think.

Zep is right. Play the better music.

The only problem with RP. Given the size of Ambassador Zappa's library, isn't there something rather the lamest song off the second lamest Zappa album (Overnight Sensation comes in first) that you can play?
Weasels Ripped My Flesh? Freak Out? We're Only in it for the Money? Joe's Garage? Roxy and Elsewhere? Live in LA? Where are all these great albums? Why the commercially viable stuff all the time? How about some of his classical stuff?

^%#@ brilliant piece of video. I'm impressed at Zappa's ability to hold his hold against 3 journalists without sinking to their level.

Nice to hear some Zappa. I remember the day he died. I send a postcard regretting his death to an ex-girlfriend I had not seen or heard of in many, many years. We used to listen to Zappa a lot.
It turned out she send me a postcard the very same day!
Great memories.

I hate the playing of the short version... why not just go for the full thing as long is you're doing freeform radio?

And while you're at it, more Zappa! Hot Rats! Roxy & Elsewhere! Overnight Sensation! One Size Fits All!

(thank you)
