A few months back Just a week ago, Andrew Greenaway did an interview with Jimmy Carl Black. Despite health problems, Jimmy’s in good spirits, performing with The Muffin Men and recording with various other artists across Europe. Just one project he’s worked on:
The CD is called The Jimmy Carl Black Story. It is due out anytime. I basically went into the studio one night and told my life story. It took me about one and a half hours to do it. He [Jon Larsen - ed.] then used some blues players from Oslo and also some of the guys from the Strange News CD for the background music.
Jimmy won’t make it to Zappanale this year, but has already set his mind on next year’s edition. Which is cool, since Sharl and I won’t be able to make it there either this year, for reasons that we may well expound upon at a later date. Read the whole article here.

A quote from urbangraffito:
“Yeah. We had a real heart to heart, man. He was laying there dying, and I was thinking how best I could use this man’s genius for my own ends. And hey, in the end, it only cost me a licensing fee. Those Zappa’s, man, they’d sell the man’s toenails, but unfortunately there were only ten of them. In the end, they all sang and played on my record, even Gail who can’t sing worth shit. I tried to get Candy Zappa to sing, but I guess there’s still some kind of a rift between them. Anyhoo, gotta go, babes are waiting….GENE”

What’s this abot Sloatman saying that Black didnt play on “Money”? That one completely slipped by, anyone know that they’re talking about?

A quote from urbangraffito:
You’ve got a very sharp eye, Paul. I almost missed that little tidbit myself. Sounds like Gail is up to her usual tricks of revisionist history: first minimize the original members of The Mothers of Invention contribution to the band, then wipe away their existence altogether.
