| wim commented on 08.02.07 | | I admired Frank, even wrote lyrics for a belgian look-alike in the late sixties, perhaps seventy, unfortunatly he died very young, who knows, I could have been a famous song writer, instead I have to do some work, right now! Be back soon |

| Smart Set commented on 08.01.07 | | Zappa's just had a street in Berlin named after him: Frank Zappa Straße, formerly Straße 13 in the old East Berlin.
"Berlin has named a street after the late US rock legend Frank Zappa in a ceremony complete with a tribute concert.
Marzahn, a district on the eastern fringe of the capital made up of communist-era housing blocks, became home to Germany's first Frank Zappa Strasse.
Orwo Haus, a former factory which calls itself the biggest practice centre for young bands in Europe, launched an initiative two years ago to rename the 300-metre-long Street 13 after the provocative star.
Seventeen bands rocked into the night after the unveiling of the new street sign, covering hits by Zappa and his Mothers of Invention.
Zappa, who died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 52, has a strong cult in the former communist bloc."

| Smart Set commented on 08.01.07 | | Why the nod to Zappa in the title, Chaf? |
