Thanks guys for the comments on my Peter Green CC for In France.

I'm behaving like an over-enthusiastic fido at the moment, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Take the point on 'some fans' being unqualified. I based it on the 'fact' that among about 3 distinctly different social groups of people (fans) I knew at the time this album was released, all of them picked up on the notion that this was another Zappa leitmotiv- a 'dig' (using the phonetic of Peter Green) by the inbuilt Zappa nose that could sniff out the negatives that can result (by public elevation) from plain virtuosity appreciation to the 'sucking dry' or 'ejaculations' of repetitive stardom. Perhaps in the same vein as FZ's ref to Clapton? e.g. Nasal Retentive Calliope Music.

Yes, I knew some Weird People then. Some of them had Short Hair.

Is this simply a shallow verse about a blow job? Why a 'mystery' blow job... a ref to some French glory-hole...or the setting up of the next line?

I did attempt some research. I shall do more. --Tonefish 15:48, 18 May 2008 (PDT)
