Link to December 17 Baltimore Sun article, "Donated Lithuanian bust of eccentric rocker Frank Zappa finds home outside Baltimore library".Excerpt: It took more than a year, but Baltimore officials finally decided where to put a bust of rocker Frank Zappa that was given to the city by his fans in Lithuania.
The eccentric musician's statue will be erected outside a public library.
Zappa never visited Lithuania, but his music was popular there among the avant garde. A Lithuanian fan club erected a Zappa statue in the Lithuanian capital and last year donated a replica to Baltimore, the singer's birthplace.
And in honor of the occasion, I'd like to share a cut from my favorite Zappa album.
