Just found this Moon Unit “Valley Girl” live session on youtube and had to share it. As many folks know, Janice (Mata) whom you can visit at the Ashram’s Hall of Heroes, danced with Zappa back in the day, as well as singing in her own band. Zappa was… as you have seen him, as was Tom Bombadil, and in much the same rebellious anti-style fashion. It’s no surprise to me that this scathing dig at ValSpeak was more of a harbinger of language to come than most folks at the time thought it might be. Now, everyone talks like this, and the joke is lost, like Max’s shoe-phone. The kids who see episodes of “Get Smart” all ask the same question: “What’s a telephone???”. MU or Dweez, if you happen to read this, get in touch.
See You At The Top!!!
