Relevance, no not really but one bike is an old single speed stingray

You just know I've seen that. Many times. He looks so meek & young back then.
I'm actually just finishing reading a biography of Zappa by Barry Miles. Very good read. If you're a Zappa fan I recommend it.

 

[happygofun]

Yes fun stuff - nice to have it wideley availible now.

I've not read the book but will someday once the reserved stack from the library goes down.

"Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar" is one of my faves on the Pod when I ride - Zappa is amazing.

 

[Locoman]

i'm lucky to have seen him play in '88. man! i was only 16 back then. someone passed us a 'hand rolled' cigarette, zappa played a version of the beatles 'i am the walrus'. good times.

Frank!

Of course I had a bit more mellow morning music playing for the bike commute in to work today. Jerry and the boys accompanied me perfectly with Dick's Picks #19 - Oklahoma City '73, Disc 3:

Dark Star ==> Mind Left Body Jam ==> Morning Dew ==> Sugar Magnolia ==> with Eyes of the World serenading me into my office.

Frank for the return tonight, so no hijacking intended.

whats with your guys handle/avatar correlation? One handle is P Funk (as in Parliament Funkadelic) with an avatar of Zappa, and the other handle is Vulgar Display of Power, a Pantera album, also with an avatar of Frank. :skep:

you got that right buddy!! Life would be so much less without it. I don't trust people that aren't passionate about some form of music.

Don't forget the quote under my Avatar "Who are the brain police?" is a song by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

And what kind of correlation are you talking about here? Partial? Distance? How about a bivarate correlation with a Peasons coefficient and a two-tailed significance test. Would that do the trick?

I remember a sick drum solo in that video...
Gots to watch that again.
