      From: sevrinx2@gmail.com              > Well, I for one don't recall seeing you on here              Yeah, recent account bufoonery has changed my login here - third or fourth       time for this group, too.              I originally started following/posting here in ... 2002-ish? I was       "Frunobulax" (the second, apparently, as someone else came on and griped about       my handle, so) then I became "Frunobulax Also" - I may have also been on here       as "coreyborealis" and "cae" -        no real idea. It has been a few years.              This most recent moniker switch-up may have been caused by the demise of       Google+ - not sure. Anyhow, yeah - I've been here - but how were you s'posed       to know that? I dunno ... guess I just assumed. Duh.              > Curiosity: have you read Pauline Butchers book about life in the Zappa        > household?               I have - and it was fascinating. Then there is Candy Zappa's "My Brother Was A       Mother," where she relates FZ's apparent disgust with the groupie mindset ...       at least when to came to his sister "working the wall."              What has spun my head around the other direction somewhat (from thinking FZ       was actually fairly hunky-dory, family and sexual more-wise) are Moon's       stories, which I stumbled across during the promotion for "Eat That Question."       If her tales are true it        adds another dimension to the story - but that's not the workplace.              To a great degree I'm not terribly concerned with FZ's private life outside of       how it reverberated through his music and lyrics and what I can take away from       those reverberations.               I love FZ"s music to a ridiculous degree but aspects of the man, himself       remain delightfully inscrutable and frustrating to me. I often come away from       some of his lyrics and pronouncements full of questions as to intent with the       aim of deciding how *I*        feel about the subject in question - it is to that extent that I wish I knew       more of his mind.              That being said, the best part about art is how YOU interpret it and the       artist be damned.              > Another fairly reliable indicator of his position on sexual harrassment,        > family values etc. similar is that Germaine Greer knew him and well and        > liked him - listen to her 2006 BBC Radio 4 interview about him.              I haven't heard this - I'll check it out.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
