[Music] Zappa BBC4 tonight 9 to 11.05PM

[jakarta]

Hello fellow FZ fans out there, 2 and bit hour documentary on BBC4 this evening.

Going out tonight but will certainly record it for later viewing.

Saw him live at Knebworth in 1978, Weasels Ripped my Flesh, became a fan there & then...

He was an eccentric genius. The guitar solo on Muffin Man... omg.

Huge fan.

A few months ago they did 'Apostrophe' on classic albums, and I was out in Glasgow, so I asked my daughter who was house/cat sitting to record it for me and, for whatever reason, when I got back it wasn't recorded, and I haven't found it on catch up or anywhere else since

So thanks for this reminder, but unfortunately, I'm out tonight in Glasgow, my daughter is house/cat .............. etc

And now she's not answering her phone

Bobby Brown goes down. Amusing and cynical or just bad taste?

It's Frank Zappa, so all three of course. I'll chuck another offensive song in to amuse...

200 motels. . . . And Freak out, what a first album.

Great documentary, that was, and so sad that he went at such a young age. Essential viewing for Zappa fans.

I was a bit disappointed in his penchant for groupies and Gail's obvious distress about it. But those were different times. I would probably have been disappointed by Bowie's bad breath and Peter Hammill's BO, too, I expect.

Not surprised he hated England (if he did) as much as Danny Baker reported he did (if he did). I wonder what happened to the oaf who shoved him off stage?

Looking forward to watching this ("taped" it last night). Saw him at the Brighton Centre on his final tour (1988) and was a magnificent show. I recorded it, gave a copy to a FZ nut I knew up in Sheffield, and later found out that he'd obviously shared it on and there's (I think) at least two bootlegs of that show that use my recording (albeit a generation or two down from the master!).

Great show, wasn't it?

Missed that one, but saw an earlier concert. Probably equally as good.

Where's Jakarta? ....

I'm the bloke with long hair wearing flared jeans, you can't miss me!

Never realised until about a month ago that Zappa and Beefheart were best mates at college.

Double denim?

... As I also learnt, that day, was that Lemmy was the vocalist on Silver Machine...

Double denim?

Nah, leather jacket being a mean biker type (alright a Honda 125 but I was trying).
