OMFG!!
that was the first Zappa tune I heard as a kid. After I heard it, I
remember
I had to find more.
I scoured the record stores until I found a copy of "Joe's Garage", the
eminent account of what it means to be in a garage band...totally
hilarious.
Then I begged my parents for guitar lessons, got some buddies together,
sparked up the Fender Champ and blissed out for a few summers.

Thanks man, I kinda forgot about that period of youth.

Excellent reply

Joe's Garage is one of my favorites, it's been in my cd changer for about
a
year now.

Indeed, thanks for the walk down memory lane. Saw him back in high
school (late 70's) on the Baby Snakes tour. Incredible musicianship.
Zappa was pure genius.

That's when I saw him for the first time, at the Palladium in NYC. Great
show, they played for 2 hours non-stop. They also did the best version of
"whipping post" I ever heard.
