Frank Zappa would have been 70 today.

A genius who was among us. I only got to see him twice and both shows stand out as stand-alone performances in my concert-going life.
70 years ago today, F. Scott Fitzgerald died and Frank Zappa was born.

I saw Dweezil do Zappa Plays Zappa last Sunday and was hoping he'd do a quick shout-out to Captain Beefheart, but alas didn't.


I did see Frank on his final tour, and really enjoyed it.

Chico - I heard Mike Nesmith's mother invented White Out. Did you ever hear that?
