   OK, OK..after all the discussion here about ZA I finally located my dust   
   covered copy down in the basement.....the 1993 FZ approved Ryko master......I   
   can see/hear NOTHING wrong about this singular cd.  Of course then I'm no   
   audiophile.  For example :  I    
   recently was looking for a copy of Chicago II (for nostalgia's sake.....what   
   did FZ say about nostalgia?) & everyone warned me: Stay away from the Rhino   
   remastered copies....they   
   bite the bag...etc...etc...  And when I finally got it & could hear NOTHING   
   wrong with it....none of the "The vocals are mixed incorrectly....the bass is   
   to loud"  blah blah blah...etc...etc.   
   So my copy of ZA sounds fine to me!  The thing I don't care for with ZA is   
   this was Frank during his "Hey, Look! I'm the star!" period. Which was pretty   
   much everything he did after the MOI.  Kinda like the Beatles when they broke   
   up....Lennon/McCartney    
   were great together ...not so hot separately.  The same goes for Frank when he   
   was with the original MOI.  I don't know what happened but he just seemed to   
   be better when he had that whole group of guys around him than his "I'm the   
   STAR" BS.   
      
   Plus...what is *wrong* with working in a gas station?  I have more respect for   
   anyone who works for a living at *ANY* job than some jackass living off the   
   system.  Who would you rather hang around with?   
      
   But then, this brings us back to the never ending question that FZ's slow   
   decline started with his being pushed off the stage by that psycho.  If he   
   just could have continued with Flo & Eddie all would be fine with the world   
   today!  But then.....it's all    
   Bush's fault!
