What scales are they using?

(Fish scales obviously! ? )

Saw Zappa in 1970, in Munich. Great show, featuring Flo & Eddie. Frank said very little during the performance, but at one point did note that the next song was in the key of "fish minor". I've been searching for that key ever since.

"Zappa in Munich" ... the town's the clue. "fis moll" in Deutsch = F sharp minor in Englisch, sorry English.

Every pop song needs a good hook

Thank you for solving a 50-year mystery, John.

Maybe you have a theory on just what they put in the acid I took that night? A vending machine at the Strassenbahnhaltestelle (hope I remembered how to spell that correctly) warned me that I might be a character in someone else's thought experiment. At least, I think that's what it said. I can't be sure because on a normal day my German fluency was adequate for a conversation with a 5-year-old. (Yes, of course the vending machine spoke auf Deutsch. Duh.)

Ironically, I've considered that that might be very accurate!

I love a good contraband.

There was some banned contraband on the band bus. It was hidden in the contrabassoon case in case you were wondering.
