I'm in my mid 30s. Nobody cares what I do any more. I'm starting to listen to Zappa more and more. Sometimes I take off my shoes when I'm driving my car. Is this the beginning?

@MusicFromPeru She quit the band in the 70's to become a housewife. The times they are achanging

@candymanego If you're referring to the end, I believe Bobby Martin is singing along with him (with Bobby singing the higher part). If this was just a joke, then it was funny.

@candymanego Look into who really runs that company. Follow the money trail. Same with 'Hollywood'.

1:57 italian virtuoso!!??!!



FYI, MTV did not cut out the guitar solo, if that's what some of the commenters think. Rather, it was FZ who made the decision at some point after 1977 that Montana is to no longer feature any of his guitar solos (the only exception is one week of December 1984). Why he decided not to solo post-1977 is unclear to quite a number of Zappaholics, myself included.
