Chris A Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 A little off-topic but still apropos--Zappa's childhood story is pretty riveting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa#Early_life I remember many families had bomb shelters (later turned into "wine cellars") around these parts during the Cuban Missile Crisis (yes, those missiles had a range that included Dallas, Texas). We were regularly drilled in "duck and cover" in elementary school--before McNamara stopped all that with his MAD policy--but I couldn't imagine the nightmare scenarios and experiences that Zappa had. Maybe that's why he was such a vocal activist and independent thinker? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 "Well, I just can't play the game anymore. I'm 63 years old, and I've been in the business for 40 years now.

Islander Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 "Don't trust anyone over 30." Pat Boone You're joking, right? It was Jerry Rubin or Jack Weinberg who said that, and Pat Boone was probably well over thirty at that time.http://thinkexist.com/quotation/don-t_trust_anyone_over_thirty/264702.htmlhttp://www.answerbag.com/q_view/737371 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
