  I know I pronounced Edgard Varese's name wrong. Thanks to the thousands of people who remind me that on a daily basis. Acknowledged. Thank you.

  Frank Zappa&apos;s music was so profound to me that as a kid I&apos;d call Barking Pumpkin Records often to express my admiration. They never hung up on me! Made friends with all the employees and Gerry Fialka his publicist. One day Frank himself got on the phone and said &quot;Mike I&apos;ve been hearing great things about you. I want you to do college radio promotion for me&quot;. This was my launch into an amazing career that included Enigma Capitol Sony Columbia and then starting my own PR company. Thanks to genius Frank.....🎉❤<br>Don&apos;t smoke cigarettes folks. I miss him dearly. ❤❤❤❤

  Mercury, Radium and mustard gas is wild. We’re lucky we got any adult Zappa at all.

  He’s dead. That’s pretty much his only issue. Other than having been dead 25 years, he’s flawless.

  I’m 21 and had just started listening to Frank Zappa with my older brother who’s 28 and the first song he showed me was Saint Alfonso‘s pancake House from apostrophe <br>As a musician with ADHD that is the most perfect jazz fusion track I have ever heard.

  I&apos;m originally from Lancaster, California. My father attended Antelope Valley High School with Frank Zappa. My father knew him and didn&apos;t like him. He thought he was weird. Knowing Zappa&apos;s connection to where I grew up, I tried to get into his music. I never could.

  Unique. There will never be anyone like him again.
