Man, one of my dad's friends snuck me an older pressing of "Weasels Ripped my Flesh" when I was a kid. I wasn't allowed to listen to Zappa till I was a little older, and I have vivid memories of stretching my headphone chords into my closet and listening to that album over and over in secret. "Eric Dolphy Memorial BBQ" definitely tweaked my ten-year-old mind.
Zappa was one of a kind.
