The Who meet Frank Zappa

[mcgoo3@ix.netcom.com (Michael McGowan )]

I am both an avid Who fan, as well as a Frank Zappa fan.  I feel that 
both bands (if it is appropriate to call FZ a band) have a certain 
magical ability to entertain, the reason for music.

    On some of my several Zappa records, there are a few Who 
references, I thought you all would be intrested in.

First: On Joe's Garage, in a song titled "Stick it Out," towards the 
end of the song, the lines "See the chrome, Feel the chrome, Touch the 
Chrome, Heal the Chrome," can be heard (the chrome being a character in 
the aforementioned song).

Second: On "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life," there is a Who 
reference in a song called "Penguin in Bondage."  Ike Willis, one of 
FZ's guitarists, yells out, "How 'Bout that Who!"

Third:  On "Does Humor Belong in Music?" the words, "One in twelve see 
The Who," can be clearly heard in "Penguin in Bondage."

Fourth: While this is not directly linked to a song, Keith Moon 
appeared in two of Zappa's movies, "200 Motels" and "Video From Hell."

I think this clearly establishes a link between the five greatest rock 
muscians I have ever heard.
