F.Z. is not dead. He just smells funny. I'm sure, he enjoys his heavenly bank account. Jammin' with the bosses son. And the h.g. thinks: "Why does it hurt when I hold pee?" Oh my GOD, I DO LOVE every single note. May the eternity CHIEF hold his hands upon him. And on his nose,pardon - toes, pardon - MIND!
We miss you Frank Zappa
