3. Frank Zappa's Influence on Music

is sorely missed today. I can only imagine the satirical material he could be writing about *.

4. Frank and a kitty!

8. That's my all-time favorite pic of him

That's Marshmuff, one of the family's many, many pets. One thing I loved about all the Zappas, was their concern for animals.

9. Funny story involving Frank and Alice Cooper:

Interviewed in August <1991> prior to his CNE show, ghoulmaster Alice Cooper set the record straight about an infamous 1969 tale, that he'd shocked John Lennon at the legendary Varsity Stadium rock fest by ripping the heads off live chickens while performing his shock rock.
"That was our very first big show," Cooper said. "And you know, the funny thing about the Toronto show was that we had no chickens planned at all; the chickens were thrown by the audience."

"We were on stage, we had feathers, we had pillows and we had CO2 cartridges. We used to break these open and then we would blast feathers all over the audience."

"And then somebody threw a chicken on stage. A live chicken. I was absolutely, I mean, I'm from Detroit, you know, I was never on a farm in my life."

"I figured, well, it's got wings, it's got feathers, it'll fly. I'll just throw it out there and it will fly away."

"I threw it in the audience, and the audience tore it to pieces! The next thing I was reading in the papers: 'He was geeking chickens on stage.'"

In the wake of Cooper's chicken incident, the rumor flew around he'd torn the head off a live chicken and drunk its blood during a show. Upon hearing it, Frank Zappa placed a call to Alice Cooper:

"Did you really do that?" Zappa asked. "No," replied Cooper. "Well, whatever you do," Zappa said, "don't tell anybody you didn't do it."

5. Frank was the reason...............

that I first started watching our government closely. He watched C-SPAN relentlessly and I started to do the same after listening to him talk about it.
I still have an original Phi Zappa Krappa poster hanging over the toilet. Not a day goes by that I don't see his face (among other bits). Very much missed. His death was so tragic. I only wish he were here today to lead the march against Fascism.

10. I've got that poster in the office at work.

Celebrities die all the time. He's the only one that I actively miss.

Got to see him live about 3 times. It wasn't nearly enough.

6. Will he beat me with a pair of tennis shoes?

Knirps for moisture.

7. Broken Hearts are for Assholes

my all time favorite song of his. We miss you Brother Frank, we really do.
