That prince of foods, the muffin

Hey Wabbit!! I had no idea you're into Zappa. I'm working in my utility muffin research kitchen this AM.

Every catch any shows at the Assembly Center or the Saenger?

Heard it live a few weeks ago.

My roommate, who worked at a record store, said that he had heard a rumor that FZ was going to show up at the Kingfish after the show. I'm like yeah, right but let's go anyway just in case. So we did and there was a jazz band playing (21st Century Band or something like that). We hung around for a while, drinking and listening to the band when I noticed Zappa standing in the backstage doorway. He's just leaning against the doorjamb watching the band. I nudged my roommate and pointed. Neither of us could believe that he actually showed up.

When the band finished, Zappa walked up on stage and got all the band members in a huddle. He was telling the members what to do when and that lasted a few minutes. Finally Frank steps up to the mic and says something like, "You people are all jazz fans so you probably don't know who the frick I am so let me introduce myself. I'm Frank Zappa and me and the band here are gonna play a song for you. They don't know who the frick I am either but fortunately, I've chosen a song so goddamn simple that anybody could play it." Then they proceeded to do about a 10 minute version of Stink Foot complete with a parable of Adam and Eve and Fido in the Garden of Eden.

As I recall he was wearing his lizard boots that night.

And got scolded by some dude from the audience for his sinful lyrics and images. Frank gave the dude his mic so duder could spew over the PA while FZ's bodyguard was looking for the thumbs-up to break the dude's neck. Cheers to FZ for his contributions to upolding the 1st amendment!

I think they broke into Muffin Man after that and tore it the F up! Anyone got a set list?
