Repost 2006_10_04 Frank Zappa
The last one of this 'Repost' serie this week. Seems you liked it...

When you look at my BLog you may think I only like the real oldies.
Yeah, that may be true but when I was at the university I was living in a kind of community on a farm and because of my (soccer) friends I learned about Frank Zappa.
We also attended a concert in my country. Made a lot of (great) pictures. Still have to digitalize them. Will do that when I am really retired ......
So the seventies are also a part of my live.
Sometimes I wonder why I liked that music at the time.
Made today 2 dvd's for my daughter with something they call today 'music'. Really hope she will like it. I don't.
Same goes for my musical appreciation. You can like/dislike it.
Take for instance Frank Zappa's music. I have 20 LP/CD's by him.
I personally like his early music. To a not American it is more understandable than his later compositions. I understand his later work is still great but I have the problem I don't really quite understand his orchestrations.
Anyway I had tonight an enoyable evening with (amongst 2 others) his 1968 album Mothers of Invention - Cruising With Ruben & The Jets
I know this may be not his best LP/CD but to me it brings backs back some nice memories of the end 60's. See the comments.

Pamela des Barres is coming to town
Pamela des Barres is coming to town to sign her new book Let's Spend the Night Together : wednesday, October 31- November 3, 2007 AMA Conference Nashville TN......Who the f*ck may Pamela des Barres be ??
Well, the 'f*ck' is truely ment to her. She was the Queen of the supergroupies of the sixties/seventies.
Read all about her in Wikipedia.
On her own site you can find great video's about her and her girl friends reading from her new book at Soho McNally Robinson - New York City - Jul 9, 2007.
Classic moment in part 7: "if you don't wanna be in my life story then don't put your dick in it".
If you wanna see the whole hour in one piece : PUNKCAST#1177 and click at the bottom the button next to 'You can watch/download the entire reading'.
A lot of songs refer to groupies in general or Pamela in particular. Just an example : Paul Simon's Graceland has the lyrics There's a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline.... Of course you already knew...... :)
+-+Permanent+damage.JPG)
Frank Zappa persuaded her and her girl-friends to make an album. So the GTO's (Girls Together Outrageously) were born. More info again on Wikipedia.Todays offer is that LP Permanent damage and also her first book I'm with the band.
A lot of pictures are included.
So, dirty as you are, hurry up to the comments to get the link.....
