      From: eichler2@comcastsucks.net              On Sun, 15 Aug 2021 23:21:37 GMT, eichler2@comcastsucks.net (Bice)       wrote:       >       >I finally got around to buying a copy of Charles Ulrich's book, "The       >Big Note - A Guide to the Recordings of Frank Zappa".              I read about and listened to Apostrophe and Baby Snakes over the       weekend, and since I had the day off today I read the chapter on The       Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life while listening to the CDs this       morning.              The most interesting bit that I learned about BBYNHIYL is the section       of The Torture Never Stops Part 1 from 3:03-4:56 quotes the theme       songs from a bunch of old TV shows: I Love Lucy, My Three Sons,       Mission Impossible and The Addams Family. I'm pretty sure I had       caught the Mission Imposible reference before, but somehow I had never       noticed the other three. I'm particularly embarrased about never       noticing the Addams Family quotes before - that's one of my all time       favorite TV shows, I even own the whole series on DVD.              It was also interesting to read about all the edits and quotes in The       Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue. Trying to put it all in order while       listening to the track was like doing a jigsaw puzzle.              Lots of quotes from Keneally posts in a.f.f-z in that chapter. I       actually remember reading some of those posts back in the day.               -- Bob              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
