Great stuff - fighting talk, but I think somebody missed the point...never
mind, I like FZ's music, have my own doubts about his arrogance &
occasionally questionable outlook on the world.  Todd Rundgren:  Undeniably
talented, but doesn't really light my fires - nor can I see him fitting
into an either/or equation with Zappa.  File under "Quite Nice".
