My mood remains drastically improved, so I'm going to punish you all for your kindness with one of the most cerebral, pretentious, overcomplicated songs in the history of rock and roll. (And one of my favorite things ever. You have my permission to skip past the drum solo right to the "good part" at 2:23.)

@zebratron2084 Ssssay. You, uh... You wouldn't happpen to know where a rabbit could get hooked up with proof a puppet show of a Frank Zappa meeting a Francesco Zappa (no relation) actually happened, would you?

Keyphrases: "What you are suggesting simply reeks of obscurity. Congratulations." "I am composed of the memories of millions of tiny hateful people. I know only what they know."

@zebratron2084 ...

You found it.

o.o

You found a complete 40 minute live recording of "The Life and Times of Francesco Zappa", an unproduced puppet play written by Frank Zappa, performed live May 20 1984 in SF a sum total of *one* time. From two slightly mangled quotes I misremembered off a college radio show twenty-five years ago.

I just listened to the whole thing. It's right there on archive.org. I think you'd enjoy it. n.n

You are just fucking magnificent beyond verbalization, Kin. 💜💜💜

@Momentrabbit Ooh, after all that, yes, I really would. Could you link me?

Also: =^___________^;=

@zebratron2084 It's right there - so far as I know, and from the radio show I heard back in the 90s, the audio recording from the 80s *is* the only recording of the performance. The download link's on the page - the MP3 link works.

Magnificent hunting stripeybutt. 🐇💜🐯

@Momentrabbit That's me, all right, run 3000 yards through a glade to take down a tiny hare... totally miss the cheeseburger right between my paws. =n.n;= I didn't even go through and look at those links once I determined they were the right event, so I missed the actual recording!

@Momentrabbit *looks nervous* Er, of course, what I mean by that is run 3000 yards to take down a tiny hare... from a shelf... and uh... put them with a loving home. Yeah! =>_>;;=

@zebratron2084 *is lounging about in a cheeseburger costume* Hon, I think we're all on the same page here. S'all good. ;9
