Zappa Had a Fall
I claim innocence. It was a long week-end, and I had just finished reading a book that I needed to return to the library. I had not been there for a few weeks, and I was not borrowing albums the way I used to - thank you, Spotify - and I sort of wandered around trying to decide what to do with myself. In the stacks, I went blindly through certain compilations and found a stack of CDs that went back to my childhood, teenagedom, and my imagination. And then I found an interesting box set: 'The Mothers 1971'.
