Especially as juxtaposed by the odd look of the Broad.

Yes. The L.A. Times ran an article about this a couple of weeks ago. I remember as a kid hearing about Zubin Mehta, then the youngest conductor to lead the Philharmonic as music director.

Don’t think so ... it was Zappa’s “200 Motels Suite”

In my opinion, Zappa’s finest work was “Call Any Vegetable” ... The LA Phil missed this one as well as “Yellow Snow”
Quote:
(This is a song about vegetables, they keep ya regular
They're real good for you)

Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Call one today
When you get off the train

Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Aw, the vegetable will respond to you

(Some people don't go for prunes...I don't know
I've always found that if they...)

Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home

Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
That a vegetable will respond to you

Rutabaga, rutabaga
Rutabaga, rutabaga
Rutabay-y-y-y...


(A prune isn't really a vegetable...
Cabbage is a vegetable...)

No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell them so

Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream of responding to you

Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
