If they are so famous, how come I've never heard of them ?

"They" is a she, and did you not watch the TV show Cheers in the 80s/90s? It was a launching pad for the careers of numerous stars, Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson, Shelley Long, and of course Kirstie Alley.

Jeeeeez! How can it possibly have been the nineties?? That seems so long ago now.
 It was good though, I wish they'd re run some of the really good old ones from around that time.

I didn't have a TV in the '80's and '90's - I was obviously filling my mind with shit other than what was on TV.

To quote Frank Zappa...from 1973.

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed

I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say

I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help...no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial

Loving your tastes in music there Zurdo




Overnight Sensation was one of my first (of many) Zappa albums.

Listening to that again after all these years, it's also very much like Alice Cooper. Frank ''discovered'' Alice Cooper when he saw them empty a theater, and signed them.
