cannot believe people still tell that one. I once, as a child, heard a variation that it was alice cooper who took said dump and that zappa's response was to eat it.

yeah he was like "you hear what he did in Paris?"
he then told me apparently a legit story where he saw Zappa in the early 70s, and Frank ate grapes for a hour until thousands left and then Frank said to the crowd "you're my true fans"

my favorite was that Ozzy Osborne would pass a bucket around the crowd and the audience would spit in it then he would drink all the spit

God knows what people get out of this.
There's a gorgeous bit of pedal steel guitar playing by Sneaky Pete on the second side of Waka/Jawaka, and the final track on The Grand Wazoo, 'Blessed Relief', might be Zappa's prettiest tune.
That's all I got.

OTM on the pedal steel, pity about the song though.

he's done the album equivalent of this so many times I can't help but think this one might be true

The question is, did he learn the trick from Neil Young, or vice versa?
