The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet: ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA! (Turn it up all the way, folks :-)

"And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Knew ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" ~ Luke 2:49

I had the great good fortune to catch Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention in concert at the Fillmore East, New York, in the summer of 1968. It was the only "rock concert" I attended during my year in the U.S. as an exchange student - but it totally changed my life.

Perhaps listening to Zappa today will have the same effect on those of you who haven't yet been introduced to this wizardly maestro, whose extraordinary music lives on through his enormously talented son, Dweezil.
