Frank Zappa
was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th
century. He was unfortunately killed by one of the top three human killers:
CANCER. I admired hi smusic and his musicianship very much and a s tribute
to the man, I have started work on a project that I intend to call "Frank
Zappa Doesn't Live Here Anymore." I cannot rightly call it a CD, an LP or
any such thing so I have decided on Mana*. I do not
know if I will ever be allowed to publish this work that I am not so sure I can
accomplish anyway. I will however try, and damn the torpedoes as they used to
say. I have never liked the current scheme of intellectual property management,
especially when it comes to pop art. It's not like we are defacing the Mona
Lisa, or having sex with her. We are just playing with copies of the original.
The Mona herself will remain immaculately virginal.
There is also the matter
of finances - I do not have enough. So, if you are someone who can help please
drop me a line at: mail@llimeworks.com . I
WILL put it all together one day, even if only for my own satisfaction.
*Mana: musical-ana -
a
collection (serving) of songs
and/or tunes with a common denominator (a common subject, a recurring musical or poetic motif, a common genre etc.)
residing on a memory device and without any temporal boundaries. Coined by
Ernest Samuel Llime to replace older terms like cassette, LP, CD, etc.
