Why are you guys so grumpy? And with the drought, who the hell still has a lawn?

I celebrate the fact that these fine gentlemen and and I have a history in common, so I'm glad to be grumpy to belong to this club!
Besides it's nice that they are polite when I grump!

It rained so much this year here that it drowned out our 3 acres of gardens we replanted 4 times - so now I have to eat emu, bison, or venison. No fresh veggies makes me grumpy and the ones shipped in from Ca taste radioactive.
GOF #1 stopping in for his annual visit...and to file a complaint:
What the hell has happened to the Amps forum?
No out of control arguments?
No name calling?
No mass deletions and/or public warnings by mods?
No ban hammer action?
It's become downright boring!!!!
We GOFs need to band together and do something to get it back to normal.

Agreed. But we need careful planning. We're coming from bad acid, chasing tail, and Zappa. The youngsters grew up with Oprah, lattes, and dating by phone. They've lost their sense of independence and think civility is the natural human state. They need to know that the G in GOF doesn't mean grandpa. Time to re-take the hill.
My daughter is the only person I know under 40 who knows who Zappa was and appreciates him. Raised that girl right!

I've PM'd a few Zappa Plays Zappa shows over the past 5 years, and it's pretty cool hearing the material played authentically and in the Zappa context.

I was at the Portland ZPZ show from the DVD and saw a few of Frank's different bands over the years, including some of the most iconic early 70s lineups. ZPZ really does carry on the tradition in a very cool way.
