Is there a more self-regardingly lame non-pol poster on 2+2 than Zeno?

Zeno is what I imagine your typical Zappa fan is like.

I’m trying to think of Zappa fans I’ve known, and can’t. Maybe I just avoided them for other reasons and never go to know their music tastes.

A couple of his early albums are very good, though.

His song about hippies being “completely out to lunch”, released during the height of hippydom, is hilarious.

I used to live there.

My friends are safe there though. For now.

This guy is currently on Netflix :frowning:

I think one of the best things he did wasn’t music at all.

But only in the symbolic, non-literal, just-blowing-off-steam way, right? Right??

They did not. I went into a home depot and there was a Milwaukee rep there who looked at my label which said “1504…” said that meant April 2015 and I’m good. Go to Anaheim and get repair or replace. I go to Anaheim and they say it’s the 4th week of 2015 and warranty expired the 4th week of 2020. No love.

If I ever seek to stage a coup here, the walrus will be my atomic bomb. Rival forum with walruses run on the hour, every hour.
