Sorry, but I hate Zappa and don't own anything he did - except that 
Talking Heads Psycho Chicken remake or whatever. However, the title of 
the song seems to suggest your message. If I say go listen to the song 
"Go Your Screw Yourself" do you really need to listen to it to get the 
probably intent of the message to be conveyed? May I suggest you just 
make your comment in plain English rather than turning it into a research 
exercise. Then we can know whether we agree with you or disagree. There 
are no shortage of people ready to speak their mind frankly on this list, 
you don't need to be shy about it.
