Where you stated "They all play for the love of Frank and not for the money." that is a downright falsehood. One example is where I've been backstage where I have seen alumni get large sums of cash. I have seen the hand to hand transaction of money from the president of the school of rock to an alumni. It is not always about the love for FZs music. The so called non-professionals that played alongside the alumni. They paid tuition to a school whose president hired an alumni. Some of these kids that went to that school had a chance to visit the Zappa household before they got involved with playing with an alumni. These young musicians and their president get an opportunity few get and then they go out and hire an alumni that basically has zero credibility in the official realm. In that context I have no respect for a falsehood of playing for for the love of FZ. It was a pretty good payday for an alumni and the kids and president of the SOR downright lost any credibility for drowning themselves in that behaviour.

"FOR THE LOVE OF FRANK" IS A TRIBUTE BAND from Chico. They play and rehearse everyday FTLOF, because they just like playing the music right, in they're opinion. Not yours. Your's is not a valid opinion, FZ's and any composers music should be interpreted by the players, not the composer's intent as you think it should be and definetly not some freako fans idea of what is right or wrong. It's called art appreciation. FZ put his music out there for people to enjoy. Not b***h incessently about "the composers intent" like you do.

...and but also,... 

FZ was proud of no two shows being the same. He was constantly changing the same song. So if you play all the right notes, like you require, there would be no alternative takes to songs like "You Didn't Try To Call Me". According to your idea of the composers intent, that's been out dated by FZ himself. So your saying that Dweezil or any ZFT approved band can play all the *right notes* but anyone else can't. Your trying to give DZ an uneven playing field when he can hold his own without your rah-rah help. I like Dweezil, Megan & ZpZ too. I wish them well!

Oh, your such a pop star of a fan. No more, no less and I don't believe anything you say. You've attacked me and lied about it and now you want anyone to believe you. Good luck with that. BTW, if you have nothing to "prove"...Read more
