BERLIN aims to name a street after the late US rock legend and
counterculture guru Frank Zappa and has invited his children to
take part in the ceremony.

The Berliner Zeitung reported in its weekend edition that
Marzahn, a district on the eastern fringe of the capital made up
of communist-era prefabricated high-rise housing blocks, hoped to
become home to Frank Zappa Strasse.

The article said that district planners were reviewing a proposal
by the Orwo Haus, an association of young musicians, to rename
what is now called Street 13 after the provocative star
(1940-1993) who still has a strong cult following throughout the
former communist bloc.

The Orwo Haus cafeteria shows a Zappa video every day at lunchtime.

"He was a rocker and we love to rock," Andre Szatkowski, drummer
for the band Freak-a-Delic, said.

It was unclear when the ceremony might take place but the
Berliner Zeitung said at least one of his four children planned
to attend.

It says: a district on the eastern fringe of the capital made up of
communist-era prefabricated high-rise housing blocks...
