Re: You Are Not Allowed To Play Zappa

This is nothing new, Gail has spent a lot of time pursuing this (obviously crazy) scheme. She is basically trying to rewrite the copyright law, and making a lot of Zappa fans angry in the process. No one thinks that tribute bands or websites are taking any money away from the ZFT, and if they think they are getting new fans from charging $60 a ticket for their official show, well they are pretty stupid. If I was a teenager, I would probably never know about Zappa if access was limited to buying the albums and seeing ZPZ live.

Though I can't agree with the comment about the last ZPZ tour not being great, it was one of the best things I'd ever seen. The last time Dweezil came to town, he was playing at a guitar shop and promoting a new line of amplifiers. Do you really think he enjoys that more than playing FZ's music? He has put everything he has into this thing and isn't going to go back to his own stuff just yet.
