In Richard Emmet's article My Time With Frank Zappa, by Richard Emmet he wrote about visiting Zappa in his home in the spring of 1978: "Frank was a man who spoke succinctly. He gave me directions to his house, which was nestled in the winding hills of Laurel Canyon, and said, "Bye." So I drove to his house. (I discovered later that Ringo Starr lived on the same street.)".
Ringo Starr was mentioned and thanked in the liner notes of The MOFO Project/Object (2006) album. [1]
