On the Roy Blankenship story my mind flashed to parametric equalizers as well. Thinking about it further, he could have also meant a stun gun from the UK.
Seeing Frank on the Zoot Allures tour on a cold night in Feb in Glasgow he thanked us for coming along to "a rickety old theatre" He spent the early part of the show with a leather jacket on which had a fur collar(from the trapper)Ah the Rex Bogue SG was kinda nifty too !
At a lecture the lecturer notices a lack of interest from a certain student."Well David can you tell us anything about Atomic Absorption Spectrometry ?" I am like yourself sir,I understand the principles but cannot quite put it across " Ouch
That is a good quote. My quote in the ZPZ DVD is actually Frank's quote. I'm reciting his monologue verbatim from a live version of Call Any Vegetable. The quotes page you're referring to is the Me Likey This page - located under the Dweezil World menu.
I thought there was a famous "FZ quotes" section somewhere, I'll proably find it later someone's personal thread.
But I heard this in The Dub Room Special last night: "If a person doesn't feel cynical, then they're out of phase with the 20th century . . . being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization; you can't just swallow it whole."
Gotta love it. But let me add that Dweezil's comment/quote in the first ZPZ dvd, that, and I hope I get this about right, "It's a f***ing great time to be alive," is a perfect complement to FZ's admonitions about cynicism, questioning authority etc.

Sound is that cup, but empty.
Noise is that cup, but broken". Robert Fripp
No words can speak like notes do. It also all depends how much you love & understand the guitar. I AM BEHIND the times. LOTS to discover. Right NOW:
FAVORITE SONG: "DREAMING" (Can't thank you enough..)
ALBUM: SHAMPOOHORN Me Likey This A Lot!!!! 2:50min until the end
Guitar Mastery at its best. Just found it in Sep.'10. AM GRATEFUL I FOUND IT!

Everything in the Universe are just subdivisions of this joke.
