I am a sucker for Zappa rehashes disguised as tributes in
music magazines. Well, I picked up the latest in Relix.
The articles are ok, but what really struck me was Gail's
comments regarding people playing Zappa's music in
public. I am really confused. Does she want a cut of the
six figure salaries that P.O. is pulling? Does she want
a cut from the occassional Phish cover which obviously
furthered their career and made them millionaries? I
was perplexed by her comments, who does she want to
pay?
FWIW: If I were a super-rich musician, I'd take a Zappa
song (like Zappa himself would often do) and rewrite the
lyrics to be a stinging commentary on her position in that
article. Everyone's fair game right?
Am I missing something? Anyone?

PS - I am sure Zappa payed LZ, etc, but did he pay for
all those Louie Louie snipets? DId Frank pay for all his
covers?
