On jansport
You Tube continues to surprise me with what's available. Yesterday I watched an episode of the old Steve Allen TV show, which featured a 22 year old Frank Zappa "playing" the bicycle as a musical instrument. It was kind of fun, though in the end disappointing as well. I expected him to plink and plunk some kind of tune, simple but recognizable, from the bicycle. However, turns out he had Allen's TV band playing weird stuff while a tape of weird stuff played, and he had a bicycle make screeching noise while Allen did the same on another one, so it was a complete, random, avant guarde experimental musical piece. So in the end it wasn't entertaining to me. It just reveals Zappa was experimenting with music and sound even before he grew his hair long and let his beard grow, before jansport and the Mothers came along.
