don't fool yerself girl; all males & females are sexist.... human nature at it's partisan best
zappa was a either a complete sexist or he worked hard at cultivating that image; he leaned on the technique to increase his exposure & maybe sell a few more records...and he didn't come off like he was desperate to keep topping himself with more 'n more outrageous shit
dude, you're a glutton for punishment, ya gotta find someone who likes zappa or at the very least zappa-neutral....keep those cd's under lock & key

from a [sexist] male perspective, big leg emma was nastier than jumbo because she was his steady date & he dumped her, whereas jumbo was only denny's groupie...the black eye kinda crosses the line, but hey so long as it doesn't cause a murder
