Actually, you know, the timing works out just about right for the Valley Girl phenomenon to have been what really gave him cancer. It had gone undiagnosed for just about a decade before he got a second opinion around '91 or '92.

It's like Al Jourgensen re: With Sympathy; everyone evolves musically, so don't try to deny a part of your sonic history so vehemently, it just makes you look like an ass.

Goddamn it, Zircon beat me to it.

If he embraced success he wouldn't have been Zappa.
