| Wall Art @allenf1963 - I see what you mean, Allen - thanks for bringing that to my attention; I'll talk to my web people about that. Meanwhile, you should be able to see them on Etsy - just remember that it's case-sensitive, and it's MyPixRock. Thanks! | |
| Wall Art BTW, if anybody wants to see my concert photos from the 70's but can't get into my Etsy shop for whatever reason, I also have my own website, www.mypixrock.com that you can see them on.... | |
| Hot Rats @bdp24 - respectfully disagree, but only about Zappa.... 'Grand Wazoo'! I dont know why I couldn't remember that name, but that's actually my fave FZ instrumental album, more than 'Waka Jawaka' or 'Hot Rats', both of which are also wonderful. | |

| Politics and Music @bdp24 - you forgot Kid Rock Old Man Pebble.... @bondmanp - why should an entertainer's opinions on politics or anything else be worth less than the opinion of a computer programmer, a banker, a fireman, you, or anybody else? | |
| Wall Art Well, since you asked, I was a concert photographer through the 1970's in the SF Bay Area, and have a lot of photos of a lot of bands who came through. I've got an Etsy store called 'MyPixRock' and have 8.5x11, 13x19, and 17x22 prints available. | |
| Hot Rats Hot Rats is great, and I love 'Willie the Pimp' with Capt Beefheart. But I like 'Waka-Jawaka' even better than 'Hot Rats'. I've seen Dweezil a few times, and that guy can SHRED; I prefer his guitar playing to his dad's, as it doesn't depend on wah... | |
| Politics and Music Great music can certainly be transformative in how we view the world. For me, that happened with Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money", which I first heard back in 1969; came a bit late to that party! Bob Dylan likely changed a few folks' vie... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @mitchagain - 'I'm On Fire' by Dwight Twilley Band? Great choice - what a wonderful power-pop song that was! | |

| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @johnto - indeed, Brian Epstein was the manager and had nothing to do with the recordings. Martin and Emerick it was! | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @dayglow - indeed, the Doors had a unique signature style that I was totally in love with. Plus those were great records to sing along with 'cause Jim sang in my key! | |
| Cheap hearing aids? Those cheap things are not 'hearing aids', they're 'hearing amplifiers', which is why they are cheap (I wear hearing aids, and I did try a hearing amp once to see what it was like; I returned them). Real hearing aids are totally adjustable by a tr... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @dayglow - and on those early albums on Verve, FZ's 'attempts' at being 'clever and unique' were 100% successful and then some, in my view. I enjoyed the few after that as well, including the instrumental albums 'Hot Rats' and 'Waka Jawaka'. But... |
