This picture has been included because it is far different from other pictures of Frank Zappa I have seen, in that it is much smaller

         I've been listining to Frank Zappa for a while now. He's truly 
    amazing.  His songs can make me laugh, cry, and even think.  It's very 
    rare that you hear music that will make you think.  That's why Zappa's 
    music is so damn good.  At least, thats what I think.  
         For me, listing to Frank Zappa is almost like hearing an inside 
    joke I don't quite understand completely.  Although I think I 
    understand it , I'm never completely shure.  For example, the first 
    few time I listened to Crusing With Ruben and the Jets, I thought it 
    was just a huge, album-long joke, wich I thought I understood.  But
    one time I was listing threw the album and it hit me; these songs are 
    bitchin' and the day after I listened to it I'd spend the whole day 
    humming and popping my fingers to it down at the car wash.  Another 
    example is the song Motherly Love off of Freak Out!.  I don't think 
    I'll ever be sure if they're refering to your real mother or to the 
    Mothers Of Invention. Eventually I accepted the fact that I can't 
    completely understand Zappa's music so now I just sit back and enjoy 
    it, like I should have been doing allalong.
