Times have changed, Frank

 

Sometimes I forget how magnanimous you are, Grace.  And that's fine: you can do whatever you want with YOUR band. I couldn't hear you on that big stage unless no one else was playing, and I didn't like that.   Let me tell you the near future: you're going to get pushed to center stage.  Not by me!  By the crowd.  Then you better make sure you get heard, otherwise it's bad leadership.  A bad leader passes the torch.  And the ideals you have will be lost.  Gun control, and so on.  You will hate the music (like what happened to Peter Green) and you will leave your own band.  The other option you have is to hide behind me.  That way, I will deal with the crowd and I will handle the blame.  I'm with you on gun control.  But when you don't mention me, then you're not hiding behind me!  Don't worry Honey, you're going to do absolutely great inshaAllah.  Muster up that famous courage of yours and make sure your every word and every note is properly heard.  And you're fantastic at doing interviews.

Ow, I hurt my left wrist, and there's a lot of work to do.  I'm not a big fan of Frank Zappa's music.  It's OK, I guess.  I suppose I like some of his quotes.  But he died before the Internet, and sometimes he's just plain opinionated.  What do you think of Frank Zappa, Grace?  Yes from the song "Smoke on the water", everybody's first song on guitar.  Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place in town.  That actually happened.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

148.  Those who give partners will say, "If Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to God, nor would our fathers, nor should we have had any taboos."  So did their ancestors argue falsely until they tasted of Our wrath.  Say, "Have you any knowledge?  If so, produce it before us.  You follow nothing but conjecture, you do nothing but lie."

The Cattle 6:148
