    Frank Zappa is just..... God. My Favorite musician. (well, Tied with Pink Floyd) Frank Zappa is just, Awesome. That's really it. Well, Poodles are awesome, great googly moogly, Don't eat the yellow snow and Uhhhh, You know what I mean. Frank Zappa>Thriller>>>>>>>>>>>>>>All. And there are no other words to describe him, thought I Just hit the halfway mark. Well, I perfer Zappa over all mainstream music (kids today with their, Fall out boys and their, Chemical romances partying at the disco you know what I mean.) But than again, I perfer all Classic Rock over mainstream music.

    Once again Frank Zappa>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ALL.
