[center]WOODEN LEG OR TABLE?:<br>THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF GRADUATE EDUCATION [/center]<br>....The popular press had called Zappa un-American because of his views on ending the Vietnam War and legalizing marijuana. So here was a promising confrontation: Pyne, the arch conservative, former Marine and combat veteran, poised to lock horns with Zappa, the dope-smoking, expletive spewing, anti-war rocker.<br><br>I don't remember Pyne's exact introduction of Zappa, but I do remember his first question to the shaggy haired, unshaven rock star. He said, “Well, I see you have long hair. You must be a girl.” Without shifting expression, Zappa fired back, “So, I see you have a wooden leg. You must be a table.” Zappa’s flash of wit and humor put both men at ease and set the tone for what I remember to be a wonderful conversation...[/quote]<br><br>

From: Héctor Castañeda (December 20, 2001)<br><br>I am a long time Zappaphile.<br><br>The first time I saw him was on a show in the LA area. It was called The Joe Pine show. He was this right wing wind bag who had on guests and would badger them with his right wing bull shit. Well, he mad the mistake of have Frank and MOI with the 3 Cherry Sister on, (who were I think some of the GTO's) Any way they brought a bunch of Freaks in with them, probably from Laurel Canyon or maybe some people from The United Mutations, and proceded to have a FREAK OUT all over the studio. <br><br>I was pretty young and dumb then but it was the best thing I ever saw. If you can imagin the face of Joe Pine when his studio filled up with freaks dancing all over his furniture and the cameras it was probably one of the great moments in Los Angeles television. WOW I wish they had that on tape. Just thought you would like to hear the story. Sincerly John Titter.<br><br>It must have been 1965 as I was still pretty nieve!!!!!<br><br>From: DrCJPine (May 2, 2004) The person writing about the Joe Pyne show had the wrong spelling. It is P-y-n-e.
