So I was just chillin out on a rainy sunday afternoon checking out an old Zappa song/video called Inca Roads and I thought some of you guys might enjoy it so I figured I would share it. Enjoy! PS The claymation starts right after the 2:30 mark.

Awesome, Zappa is hard to dig, but he was really ahead of his time so much. Awesome person and musician. If you can - check out some of his interviews as well.

Right on Ivan , yeah I have been a big fan of his work for years, I think one of his most important interviews was'nt an interview really at all but was his testimony before Congress on censorship of music back in 1985.
I give you part 1 if anyone is interested.



Ps. There are 4 parts to his testimony I believe and they can be found from watching part 1 as well as testimony from other musicians such as Dee Snyder , Rob Halford and John Denver.

I was going to post another video from Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage, Watermelon in Easter Hay is one of my all time favorites, but I fear the opening narration by the central scrutinizer has an expletive in it and may not be suitable for the younger members, not sure on the policy here but figured it would be best if i just didnt post it. So check it out if you get the chance and make sure you check the studio version as it is going to sound the best, (awesome guitar tone).Frank Zappa ,Watermelon in Easter Hay from Joe's Garage.

Peace! Rich.....

Zappa was a musician ahead of his time. He had one dose of insanity which is characteristic of only great musicians!
Thanks for share !

I love how he was actively involved in defending the freedom of speech of musicians. That video was wicked!
