I check Youtube for FZ related vids and found a marching band in
Indiana that plays a bunch of Franks stuff. The I found the footage of
the parade. I NEVER thought I'd see Matt Lauer and Katie Kouric
listening to, and talking about, FZ music. Matt Lauer apparently went
to OSU and talked it up a bunch.
While your searching Youtube, check out FZ covers by the Gotan Project
and many, many other foreign bands. It brings a tear to my eye.

Another Zappa sighting: Last weekend on NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell
Me", the "not my job" segment involved the host of the TV show "Dirty
Jobs" answering trivia questions about Mr. Clean. At the end of the
bit, they played a brief clip of the Cucamonga-era single "Mr. Clean".
