Frank was right then and he is correct today.

I am here to tell you that the entire Ryko Frank Zappa Cataloge Has been purchased by Warner Music Group. As you all know Frank pointed out that the Warner Music Group is a bunch of criminals. Here is the proof of this crime. Say,

Anderstine - Eugene Oregon

Getting rid of the boxes

Should we just have sub headings like we do in the rest of the wiki:

I do not find that the boxes enhance or clarify anything on the page.

Hi Duncan,
actually I used to like these boxes which were very compact. But I also agree that changes are needed there and like what you are doing. IMO the main page should be more simple and visual and provide fast and easy access, so the first paragraph which contains a bit of history and guidelines should rather be put elsewhere (at the end ?).

I might create a temporary "sandbox" Main Page in order to put my suggestions in it.

Hi, Sysops
How about some changes with the New Year AND celebrating the 4.000+ articles here?!
Like a new aphorism:

“... It is the tradition in America to reward artistry with contempt and ignorance with outrageous praise. Americans live in terror of excellence and will do ANYTHING to avoid contact with it. Those who attempt it are murdered by prolonged exposure to video radiation.”
Robot Frank in Them Or Us, p.262

missing content

Sorry to ask: I assume everybody knows what's going on but me. Do you know where went the FZ chronology on
http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/chronology/index.html
Or do you know anyone who has a copy I can download or something. I am lost without it!
Is this the ZFT thing going on?
