Yes, well, you know, AF didn't fit the frame the show wanted to paint, so...

I doubt it's a fake, aside from the personal "Yes It's FZ!" thought that jumps on me (which I get more often with painters and illustrators,there's just something about it all that screams FZ to me), the Z in the handwriting looking very Zappa with the same angles and thin on top/thick at bottom development that I've seen on another z painted by FZ, the fact that it was framed and has a label of an obscure and long-gone store... the way the drawing fits in with FZ's real life (especially the owner's jacket)... Besides, I trust Gail's opinion on it.

And I want that collage.

Agreed.

Th.

P.S.: I'm also pretty sure it is indeed by Frank Zappa. And I hope they can use it for an album cover sometimes. The Rage And The Fury comes to my mind first.

TH.,ask the Vautmeister,stranger things have happened. {-

At first i thought the character was a Karloff-Frankenstein monster type playing the drums since he's green and rigid, also what seemed like stitches on his head was his hair. Still is weird that he painted him green, maybe he was trying to create some contrast with the orange of the drums, and making him pinkish would be too homogeneous, maybe the guy was Irish, maybe he only had that colour available.

It's not being released. At least as long as Gail's alive or in charge.

I hope she changes her mind on that... No two Varèse recordings are the same.

Say I've had a thought...

One of my friends, who's synesthetic, told me he'd read FZ was synesthetic. Since I'd never heard of that, I dismissed it. Seeing this made me wonder though, how visual music was to him.
I have two synesthetic friends. One is a mild synner: he sees different colours with certain symbols. This is fun, especially combined with his colour blindness.
The other one, a type of guy all the girls crush on, had it into absurdity. We found out en masse about his synesthesia in class, when the teacher played a section of Shostakovich's 6th symphony. We were to write down what emotions and visions we had with the music.
Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY except this guy, wrote down "fear, being chased". Synner wrote:
"The fury of fat people on an aubergine background."

Naturally, with every snippet played after that, he was to introduce the rest of us to his wonderfully poetic visions. He also told us he got very specific flavours in his mouth when he was dancing.

You could ask Gail at your own risk. But she'll leave you with more questions that answers.

She doesn't leave me with that either, the only time she reacted to one of my mails was with that April Fool's thing. Even though she promised she'd answer my question. Whatever it is she's working on, I hope it brings her more than the 3000 euros I have to pay the goddamn rightwing government because of my delay. Fuck depression, fuck empty promises, and very much fuck that idiotic prime minister who had three years of college delay himself
