Thread Name: Frank Zappa's birthday (1940-1993)
Subject: RE: Frank Zappa's birthday (21 December 1940)
I remember when the Mothers were due to perform 2000 Motels at The Royal Albert Hall.

It was announced that the management had cancelled the show for being too offensive.

We had tickets and went to get our money back and found lots of others milling around outside not sure about whether the show was on or not

Then Frank himself arrived and wandered out of his limo. We watched as members of the the crowd thinking that Frank would know what to do - started to follow him.

Until it was clear to us anyway, that he was just heading to use the 'Gents' - with a long trail of adoring followers expectantly but unknowingly going into the 'Gents' after him.   

One of these followers may have even been a young George Michael......
