How about other artists quoting Zappa one way or another... Here's two for starters, one very dumb, one not so dumb:<br><br>"I respected him and I know he respected me."<br>-- Lou Reed.<br><br>"Frank Zappa was my Elvis." <br>--Matt Groening.<br>

Frank Zappa was the greatest guitar player that I ever saw. One night, him and Jimi were jammin together. <br>all I can remember is Jimi standin there with his mouth wide open.<br><br>Alice Cooper

Adrian Belew: <br><br>"When you come face to face with a genius its undeniable. <br>From my first handshake with Frank in 1977 to our last private talk in his living room <br>just months before his death, he seemed surrounded by the urgent aura of <br>someone meant to create something no one else could. <br>Not surprisingly, Frank was driven: the hardest working musician ive ever seen. <br>Very serious about his music and its treatment, yet clearly enjoying his unique position <br>as a creative force known and revered troughout the world"<br><br>

He worked in fragments and layers put over each other... etc. ( Telegraaf 13-06-2000).[/quote]<br><br>[quote author=Lou Reed per: Neil Slaven, Zappa; Project/Object chapter link=board=quotes;num=1041271503;start=0#14 date=??/??/??]Frank Zappa is the most untalented musician I've ever heard...

And swing along. (He didn't say that but somthing like that)  And I was with a girl (she's my girlfriend now). We where like cool I was already holding around her.
