Slicks
Revision as of 13:09, 10 December 2010 by Spider of Destiny (talk | contribs)
When Zappa went to the San Bernardino County Jail in 1969 he saw an enormous Afro-American man whose name was "Slicks". His name was derived from the fact that his lips looked like big soft racing wheels: "cheater slicks". Zappa mentions him on page 52 of The Real Frank Zappa Book and was astonished that this man was doing time for the theft of copper.
