This is as unlikely a place for a discussion of the life and times of Frank Zappa as I could imagine.
Imagine writing a paper entitled 'Rudolf Steiner and Frank Zappa: a BD take on the crux of the biscuit'! No, I don't think 'Dynamo Hum' or 'Cosmic Debris' qualify as new age hits, python boots or no python boots. On the other hand, naming your daughter 'Moon Unit' seems a touch more New Agey somehow.... One thing about Al Gore, he did write a preface to Our Stolen Future, www.ourstolenfuture.org..... Frank Teuton---reminding everyone to not eat yellow snow......it is that time of year, eh? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lance Howard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2002 11:56 AM Subject: Re: Clinton not Bush > I believe Zappa was a Republican, although his politics seemed more > libertarian.
