"Folks, as you can see for yourself, the way this clock over here is behaving, TIME IS OF AFFLICTION! Now this might be cause for alarm among a portion of you, as, from a certain experience, I tend to proclaim: 'THE EONS ARE CLOSING'!" #Zappa

Also memorable for his #Zappa stint. Adrian Belew recounts his audition with Frank Zappa: "We sat on his purple couch. I placed my Pignose amplifier face down on it so I could get a little bit of sustain... At the end of it, he reached out his hand and said, ‘You got the job'".

“The most important thing in art is The Frame. Because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a 'box' around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?” (Frank Zappa)

Here at @zappadan, we don't do much these days for Zappadan except to listen to some Zappa, try to live with the AAAFNRAA spirit, and retweet everything we see. Expect Miracles. #zappadan
