Zappa and The Mothers of Invention...WOW. Brings back memories. "Helen, the modified dog". "Don't eat the yellow snow". "Susie Creamcheese". Have you ever heard of "The Residents"? One of their music experiments was the fusion of John Philips Souza doing Hank Williams songs. Unbelievable. Also checkout "Tower of Power" Urban Renewal.

Not much of a Fleetwood Mac fan, although they did put out some great tunes. I'm much more a Stevie Nicks fan. Very sexy gravel voice. She's a San Jose, California , silicon valley girl.
Is she really from there? I really didn't know. Groovy. I love San Jose (and Stevie (of the late '70s early '80s)
Re: Mosrite! Yeow! What a performance! I can't believe I had never seen that one. Thanks! An amazing piece of video/music art. It was like Talking Heads meet Devo.
Re: Mosrite! It's funny, but I never met Ricky W. face-to-face, only saw him perform from the audience. But crazy Fred, I ran into him in person a few times, and he was nice, but he's crazy as a loon for real. Ricky was a very shy dude. He never looked anyone in the eye. I don't think he could imagine that he was famous, lol
Wow indeed. Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yi7AJvzRUA&feature=related I still have my Cream album. Every song is a monumental performance. I like the Robert Johnson covers especially.
Song is excellent, just don't pay attention to the video. <S> bullet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1S7YniPt10
