   Everybody "hates" The Man From Utopia, but I first heard and started to   
   absorb that album when I was, good lord, four years old or so? (I   
   remember my dad bought it at the same time as Twisted Sister's "Stay   
   Hungry" and both of them had cover art that made me fear-cry!) Nobody is   
   gonna tell me that record sucks. I've always loved the songs, plus as I   
   got older (and on the internet) and learned more about Zappa, and when   
   and why and how the stuff on that album was recorded and all that crap,   
   I love that album even more.   
      
   And I *DON'T* like "Luigi and the Wise Guys"! Ok, I like it a little   
   bit, and appreciate / understand it a little more now, but it's Not My   
   Favorite. But I don't hate it. Do I equivocate? I might, it really   
   depends. Did I use that word right? You tell me.

   Hammersmith Odeon, something I sometimes I feel like writing a blog post   
   or some fucking thing about.
