   The old geezer to All   
   Frank's Musical Philosophy?????

   What are we to believe here?  We all know that Frank disbanded the original   
   Mothers 'cause he got tired of dealing with bandmembers who couldn't "read"   
   music (ie.JCB).....Any musician who wanted to play in Frank's band after that   
   had to be able to read music.   
   Then, even that wuzn't good enuff!  Why deal with temperamental musicians when   
   one can program their own computer/synclaver to make music, cold & sterile as   
   isopropyl alcohol though it may be.....   
      
   The comes along the YCDTOSA series, where FZ proudly points out the fact that   
   these are all "live" recordings, complete with all blemishes, miscues, missed   
   notes, flubs, broken guitar strings & forgotten lyrics that are (he states)   
   dissapearing from "live" recordings because of better editing techniques due to   
   advanced recording technologies......& how the YCDTOSA is such a great   
   testament to the "old days" of "Live" music....   
      
   So, which is it Frank?  Cold & sterile mistake free synclaver music or a REAL   
   LIVE Band music...a la Mothers..   
      
   Which do you think your fans prefer???
