I do not think that KUR is devoid of the Imperial. It’s there in the underlying satire, in the tongue-in-cheek sardonic quality and tone of a lot of the posts and comments.

If KUR (or myself) is in any way denigrating or alienating or shabbily treating those who made it an “issue” please let me know how and which way I can be of better service to this community. I’m here to serve.

Like many fans of the man with the Imperial, I like to think I can point out the influence of the Imperial where someone unfamiliar would or could not. This is something, frankly, we all have in common at KUR. While we may not always see the Imperial, itself, its influence on music and popular culture is always there, and unmistakable.

And lest I be called on the carpet, I do have a keen interest in where the crew wishes to lead us - yes, urbangraffito, that means you too.
I’m not out to badmouth anyone, or slam the KUR crew’s efforts. You all rock. My feelings come only as a fan, and reader, of KUR…
The knee-jerk above all came about when someone posted a ‘Vault Announcement’ (of interest to 99% of the readers, I’d imagine) in a thread unrelated to the Imperial, and was mildly chastised for it. I responded with a tongue-in-cheek plea for us not to leave the Imperial behind in our attempts at new direction. Whether or not that feeling fits with the crew’s new agenda - I can’t say. I speak only as a fan of the Imperial - and KUR.
So, if any of my words have offended, I sincerely apologize - I meant no disrespect or ill will…
Music is the Best.

Thank you for posting that, Balint.
A point I tried to make humorously a post ago… The Futum of KUR need not be necessarily devoid of the Imperial. Moving on is great. Forgetting about (or denigrating, or alienating, or shabbily treating) those who made you an “issue” is not great…
7 years? Try 10 dude. And I’m hear because I love Barry & Sharleena - we got here because of a love for the Imperial. KUR has grown because of that love. MAY IT NEVER CEASE!
I’m probably wrong (I usually am), but I detect a certain attitude lately that is not indicative to appreciating the very thing that brought us all here in the effing first place.
I’ve nothing against a new direction; I don’t think it requisite to disregard the old direction in pursuit of the new…

I have, and always will, love the music of that man with the imperial (not so much so his little genetic mutations and witchy pin cushion).

Just every time I see their web address at KUR, I think, what the…

err… ehm… ööö…. …….

I meant that in a GOOD way! LOL, let’s all relax a bit, shall we?

One of the DVDs has a review that sounds planted, with references to a “cover band charade” that slags P/O, Muffin Men, etc.

My sources tell me that’s zappa.com forum user “trendmonger” — a well known brown nose afficionado — take that info for what it is though
