STILL ABSOLUTELY FREE

 A LOT OF PEOPLE don’t bother about their friends in the VEGETABLE KINGDOM. They think, “Ah, what can I say? What can a person like myself say to a vegetable?” But the answer is simple, my friends . . . just call . . . and tell them how you feel . . . about MUFFINS, PUMPKINS, WAX PAPER, CALEDONIA, MAHOGANIES, ELBOWS AND GREEN THINGS IN GENERAL . . . and soon: A NEW RAPPORT.  You and your new little green & yellow buddies . . .  grooving together!  OH NO!  Maintaining your coolness together!  Worshiping together in the church of your choice!  ONLY IN AMERICA. Woh-oh-oh-ah-agh-h . . .

EVERYTHING IS HEALING NICELY

EVERYTHING IS HEALING NICELY: Bullshit, Das Ist Nicht Echt — "Bullshit, This Is Not Real"Bullshit, Das Ist Nicht Echt*  •  Original mashup¹ for Zappadan by Terry Kruger
(If you want to read his robe you must click it.)

For many of the Zappanese intelligentsia, 200 Motels was a prototype of a dimension of Frank Zappa that was relatively unknown.  But there were inklings of the future there for the listening, Would You Like A Snack?,  Half A Dozen Provocative Squats,  The Girl Wants To Fix Him Some Broth. . .  If all you listen to is Joe’s Garage and Burnt Weenie Sandwich, it’s time to push the envelope.
