Got a lot of messages from confused folks saying "WTF??" about the burp I posted. Well, here is the explanation… I am a massive ZAPPA fan and offered to massage them (Frank and his whole band) for free just to see every sound check and show for free in trade for massage. SOOOOOooooo I got to see almost every sound check on the 1988 tour…. and I burped accidentally during the Portland Maine show and Frank stopped the band, turned around and asked "Who did that?" (there were 5 of us in the whole venue that go to watch the sound check) and I owned up to it. He asked me to come up on stage (I thought he was gonna rip me a new one). He said "Can you do that again into the sampler?", and I said "well, I need a diet coke". He said to a stage hand "Get her a coke!" and I politely said "um, it has to be DIET coke, more bubbles you know?" . They got me a diet coke, and it took about 20 minutes for me to ‘cook up’ a few killer belches. The band was ‘not amused’ at having to wait for this, lol! So the burps were recorded into a sampler and they used it for the rest of the tour to make fun of the TV Evangelists at the time, and now you can hear it on the Zappa live Album called "the Best band you’ve NEVER heard in your life".. or simply click on the banner below..
