Well then Fido got up off the floor an’ he rolled over
An’ he looked me straight in the eye
An’ you know what he said?
Once upon a time
Somebody say to me
(This is a dog talkin’ now)
What is your Conceptual Continuity?
Well, I told him right then
(Fido said)
It should be easy to see
The crux of the biscuit
Is the Apostrophe(')

“So far ladies and gentlemen the response from this particular community has not been especially gratifying. Perhaps you’re a bit too intellectual here.” FZ

nice, i found an interview with Ruth Underwood that includes more than what I saw elsewhere, if that makes any sense. Okay what I saw was this same clip only shorter… and I thought that that was it… so it’s a nice surprise for a fan uhda band.

Ha! I knew it. A conspiracy between law makers and criminal lawyers. Pass a bunch of stupid laws which people are likely to break, then make a business out of their prosecution and defense.

What do you think about that?

I’ve always preferred the line up in the last two- Montana and Dupree’s Paradise. Fowler, Duke, Underwood, Ponty, Humphrey. Most of the live stuff done with the original MOI- the first video- is okay but often overloaded with satire. In fact the entire decade of the sixties was a period of excessive satire for frank for obvious reasons. The musical scene was such that it made wonderful material for parody and satire. The seventies not so much.

I agree.

Here is a video called “Frank Zappa Philosophy”:
