Thank you.
Without the link you have now provided, and no corroboration found via
Google searches, it seemed questionable that the report was factual.

I found no corroboration for the content below via Google searches in
news, web, and blogs. The only mention of his death is within a Wiki
entry at [link] but there is no
citation of a source for the death report.

introduced such notables as the Mothers of Invention and Tom Waits
during the '60s and '70s, died Tuesday of unknown causes in Napa, CA.
He was 77.
After beginning his professional career as an L.A. club booker and
operator, Cohen branched into management in the mid-'60s. His biggest

Manzanera projects in general?

never had a "worst" one. they were all pretty pleasurable. i remember
one time canoeing the ausable river, in northern michigan, on acid. we
could have pulled a water skier behind us. the most memorable time,
probably, was dropping some on christmas eve (ca. 1974), getting home
around mid-night, after the folks were safely in bed. listened to

Thanks Hoodoo,
I think I will start looking for some beeter beers (seriously). We
have a Happy Hour at work one Friday afternoon each month but most of

Thanks,

No inflatable donut but I still can't zipper my pants. I've been
wearing size 34's for years and my abdomen at the navel is swollen too
much to close the gap. My maracas are not that big, fortunately.
Thanks for the thought.

FZ "Duh" Moment #1

I classify a "duh" moment as something I've listened to for years and now
finally get it.

In "We Are Not Alone", the back-and-forth "reply" moments are supposed to be
"us" talking to "them", as in "Close Encounters".
Or at least I hope so...
