So my daughter got this pretend school teacher set and she's been obsessed with it.

I sat down with her and the boy and we played school for a couple of hours. All on her own she decided to teach us about apples and this is what she thought of off the top of her head....

Not only does she know at age 6 who the Beatles are, what label they recorded on, which Beatle is the funny one (John) but she actually knows what an album is and that they have a cool picture of an apple in the center of an LP.

I'm pretty sure my work here is done.

Now I just need to get the boy turned on to Frank Zappa

:devilgrin:

since he's only 9 I think I'll give him a few years... I'm just happy at this point that he knows who Jimmy Paige and Dick Dale is and he's not _completely_ consumed with this disney-ized drivel that these dang kids are listening to these days.

Jeez... when did I start sounding old like this?
 
:lol:

My exposure to Zappa was with the release of the "Freak Out" album with th' "mothers"... One of my Ol' Fella's pals was doin' his doctoral thesis on our changing culture. He used "Help, I'm a Rock." as his "anchor". :laugh:

...there weren't much "Disney" around my house...


"Suzi??"

"Suzi Creamcheese???"

:devilgrin:
 
The year I helped the Fraternity Pledgemaster at Lehigh, I started heck Week for the pledges with Suzi Creamcheese on full volume on the house sound system. I think it was the first time a few of them had heard Zappa judging from their faces in the line up.
 
meh... I had a "head start". It was released in '66, I was 15 then. "Culture Shock"... :smile:
 
I think my first exposure to Frank was in 67??? at the Ford Auditorium in Detriot. One of the song I remember was "A pound of a brown on the bus". We took our 8 month old twin sons with us and saw him agian at Pine Knob, north of Detroit.

Just start calling him Dweezle and feed him a steady diet of "Peaches en Regalia" :devilgrin:

Hehehe, first time I ever saw him/them (The Mothers) we hitch-hiked "all the way" from Pitt to State College! A "FUN" time was had by all :crazyeyes: (that had to be in '66...I think, I must have 4/5 years on ya there Doc.)!!! :eeek:

I AM getting old.... now that I'm a father the lines that follow this lyric take on a completely different level of discomfort.

Of course the discomfort was Frank's crux of the biscuit all along.... but still....

<shudder>

:rolleyes:

The mind is the ugliest part of your body.
