Nick: Thanks for the tip. Even though I bought Freak Out when it was issued, I'm only now coming to appreciate Zappa and Co. I saw a clip of "Stairway to Heaven" today -- hilarious. And a friend just played me "Elvis Has Left the Building" on his iPhone. Next up: 200 hotels. Cheers

For all legends surrouding Astral Weeks, this album is the one I always turn to and this song is supreme.
