frank zappa//musical memories

i wanted to start something new here- musical memories. basically i will be sharing a song and some memories that are attached to it. so get ready for a WIDE variety of songs i love and songs i hate (i've been wanting to do a playlist of songs i can't stand. haha i think that would be fun!). so here's the first one. i don't anticipate anyone making it through the whole song but we'll see.

i first heard apostrophe by frank zappa when i was a junior in high school, so that was 1994. i remember being totally blown away by it and loving how bizarre and different it was compared to most/all music i'd heard. the fact that he was not known by most 16 year old's at the time made it even cooler to me. we had this album on vinyl, so i recorded it onto a cassette and listened to it for months straight in my car. i've only met a couple of zappa fans in my life, i suppose it's not exactly the type of music most people would choose to listen to but it's fun and this album in particular brings back lots of memories for me.

some of my favorite song quotes come from this album-
1."is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho?"-definitely one of my top 5 favorite song lyrics ever! i was watching mystery science theater 3000 one time and they said that, i was so stoked! it doesn't take much to make me happy people :D
2."watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow"- saying this a must, when in snow!
3."I'll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS just before dawn an' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn"- i think of that every time i see a lawn jockey.

there ya have it! i would have included a picture of me from 1994, but someone (shane) misplaced my camera (i don't have a scanner so it would have been a picture of a picture). next time.
