[Zappa-List] ZPZ in Tel Aviv!!!
The ZPZ show just conquered Tel Aviv 2 nights ago! On Wednesday night, 14 July, at 10:00 PM local time. ZPZ gave a 2 1/2 hour show with no intermission the band was great, the show was great! vocalist Ben Thomas seems to have done his homework/research before going on stage, as he managed to add-lib a whole list of local references into the songs, including the names of a fashionable local restaurant or two... -- Eli Marcus www.EliMarcus.com blog: http://elisblues.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/elisblues Do you hate people?

[Zappa-List] Re: Weird Frank Merchandise
I remember the Phi Zappa Krappa photo being featured in a large format high quality art magazine called Avant Garde in 1969 here is more info from the Kill Ugly Radio site: The Toilet Poster From Zappa Wiki Jawaka An enduring image of Frank Zappa http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/Frank_Zappa is the Toilet Poster or Phi Zappa Krappa-poster, depicting him sitting on a toilet. The picture was taken by Robert Davidson in 1967 for an article in the International Times (Issue 18, August 31st - September 13th). There are three versions extant, all taken during the one session. The original version (1) has Jugendstil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugendstil style graphic ornaments around the picture. The Krappa version (2) has colored ornament and the name ZAPPA as ornament or has the text PHI ZAPPA KRAPPA across the top of the poster but with no ornamentation. Zappa resented that he had no control, or royalty payments, from the poster although he authorised one version: I asked him whether the original Phi Zappa Crappa posters received his authorization. Yeah, he says almost regretfully. If it says 'Phi Zappa Crappa' it was one of the authorized ones. But by that time there were maybe ten other versions of the toilet poster out, from different sources that weren't authorized. -What's A Mother To Do? http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/What%27s_A_Mother_To_Do%3F It was designed to be a picture to go with an article in the International Times http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Times, you know about that magazine from England? And it was supposed to be used as publicity for our first concert in 1967. And the photographer who took it made a poster and sold it for his own profit and then that poster was bootlegged all over Europe and eventually went into the United States and millions of 'em were sold. But I couldn't stop them from doing that. No! Because in London, er, the, photographic copyright laws are different from the United States. Somebody takes a picture in the US, they can't make commercial use out of it without your permission but in England, if somebody takes your picture, the photographer owns it and can do whatever he wants with it.

[Zappa-List] RIP Jimmy Carl Black
R.I.P. Jimmy, he never got rich from it, but he was always true to his roots and the music was first and foremost, I still have an LP copy of the Mannish Boys recording A Li'l Dab'l Do Ya, I had allot of respect for him since he was dedicated to the Blues in the last 20-30 years -- Eli Marcus www.EliMarcus.com blog: http://elisblues.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/elisblues Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, And today? today is a gift, That's why we call it the present.

[Zappa-List] re: cleverest Zappa song
Of course, Frank was such a sharp wit, a genius both with music and with words, and all of You Are What You Is has great dialog, and there are certainly many classic verses that we have all memorized from Joe's Garage and Sheik Yerbuti but when it comes to something that gets you in your mind and in your gut (laughing that is), I think my all time favorite cleaver Zappa song would be Cosmik Debris The mystery man came over And he said Im outta sight! He said for a nominal service charge I could reach nirvana tonight If I was ready, willing and able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of His pressing affairs and devote His attention to me But I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Look here brother, dont waste your time on me The mystery man got nervous And he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe And he whipped out a shaving kit Now I thought it was a razor And a can of foaming goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin his box wont do With the oil of aphrodite, and the dust of the grand wazoo He said you might not believe this, little fella But itll cure your asthma too And I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? Look here brother, dont waste your time on me (dont waste your time) Ive got troubles of my own, I said And you cant help me out So, take your meditations and your preparations And ram it up your snout! But I got the crystal ball, he said And held it to the ligh So I snatched it, all away from him And I showed him how to do it right I wrapped a newspaper round my head So I looked like I was deep I said some mumbo-jumbo, then I told him he was going to sleep I robbed his rings and pocketwatch And everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldnt even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future, then As long as he was hanging around I said the price of meat has just gone up And your old lady has just gone down! And I said look here brother-who you Jiving with that cosmik debris? Now is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho? Dont you know, you could make more money as a butcher? So, dont waste your time on me Dont waste it, dont waste your time on me (shanti) -- Eli Marcus www.EliMarcus.com blog: http://elisblues.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/elisblues Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, And today? today is a gift, That's why we call it the present.

[Zappa-List] Re: Zappa Beer
I don't think that a boutique brewery which puts out a limited edition beer in honor of FZ can really qualify as a commercialized memorabilia product of a celebrity figure, it certainly is not going to show up at a Toys R Us or Wall Mart store, nor is it going to be available through Amazon.com I believe that it is just a sweet tribute to someone that the brewery owner really admires I sure would love to have a bottle... as far as the action figure dolls go - I have never in my life purchased memorabilia products for my music heroes other than T-shirts, but - I'd definitely buy a Phi Zappa Crappa doll of FZ sitting on the toilet all NEKKID just like the old poster from way back when!!!

[Zappa-List] Re: Nappy's Fate?
Hey, I've been a sworn Zappa fan for 35 years, and I hadn't heard the term Nappy 'till now, I only figured out from the context of the first two messages in the thread that it was Napolean Murphy Brock... I ordered tickets online months in advance, and traveled half way around the world to see the ZPZ show in Toronto, and I really was hoping and praying that Napolean would be the guest star, I certainly enjoyed Ray White immensely, and even shook his hand as he was heading off stage at the end, but if Napolean were there, it would have been more of a legendary experience for me -- Eli Marcus www.EliMarcus.com blog: http://elisblues.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/elisblues Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, And today? today is a gift, That's why we call it the present.
