I'd like to dedicate this song to all of the unproven non-treatments that find their way onto this forum. As far as I'm concerned it's a lot of Cosmik Debris. And....Don't waste your time on me.

Unproven non-treatments
Good choice Gregg
Fantastic! "who you jiving with that cosmic debris?"
My favorite lines:
I've got troubles of my own I said and
You can't help me out
So take your medications and your preparations
And ram 'em up your snout
Clearly the appropriate choice for this thread but my favorite is still Montana.
Gonna be a Dental Floss Tycoon.
Love it!!! Thanks Gregg!!!
Sadly he died very young, I seen him several times in the early 70's. "Weasels ripped my flesh."
He died at 52. Much too young.
Wow that brings back memories .... pigmy ponies ... dental floss farm .... Frank was a trip. 😂😂😂😂
Love this! Cheers to modern medicine.
It seems there wasn't much to combat PCa up until the nineties when better treatments were being developed.
Frank Zappa and I seem to have a lot in common, both having 4 children and have had unresolved urinary issues for many years before being diagnosed with PCa. The major differences being that I have no musical talent and don't consider tobacco to be a vegetable. I have outlived him by two years so far, although I don't know if he was ever prescribed Lupron depot (released in 1989).
Joe’s Garage is my all time favorite.

"Black Napkins" always does it for me.
Good post. Thanks Gregg for posting it.
Thanks. You just hit the nail on the head. Zappa was an accomplished musician and a wry social commentator. Listen to
" I am the slime" and simply replace TV by social media for a try....
Have a good one!
Very bluesy - enjoyed it, though will admit to taking a little Cosmis Debris
Frank Zappa has guided many of my thoughts. Thankful that I was introduced to him at a young age. Great post. This world needs a lot more fun.
Folks, this Zappa thread has done me a world of good. Thank you!
"The deadly yellow snow had deprived the fur trapper of his sight"....lucky to see this legend at Stanford Maples Pavilion in 1979.
I am really amazed at how creative and funny his lyrics and music are. Also love the story telling aspect. How did he come up with this stuff? Just listened to Camarillo Brillo.
Some of the lyrics:
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
and
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more
"Is that a real poncho . . . I mean
Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?"
From the moment I first heard that, I wanted a *real* poncho. Instead, I bought a *real* Mexican serape. Sometimes, good enough is good enough.
Yes, I love the poncho line. The poncho line (slightly different) also appears in Cosmik Debris. I think it's a clever commenatry on phony gurus.
I saw a comment somewhere that whenever he or his wife sees someone with a poncho they always say: "Is that a real poncho is that a Sears poncho?"
Agree totally.... and on ADT we don't get "Stink Foot"🤪
That, and staying away from python boots.
I haven't listened to him for years but knowing he is a brother makes me want to start again. I would download some lyrics and chords for my guitar but I am way out of his league.
Keeping mine on until the end of July🧐 Here Fido..... Everybody do the Funky Alfonso!
Suzy? Suzy Creamcheese?
And though this one came much later (1982), Moon Unit and her Valley Girl was the first time I'd ever heard valleyspeak spoken at length, long enough to realize how funny it sounded (at the time I was trying to speak pidgin in Hawai`i). Gag me with a spoon. Some people are still ending their sentences with a question mark when they're not asking a question, as if they're not quite sure where they are or what they've said or if what they've said makes any sense - and blissfully unaware that they're driving anybody who's listening to them crazy.
This world needs more Frank Zappa, more music. Music is the best.
I agree, I play guitar everyday to to sooth my soul but nothing like Frank, only in my dreams.
