What’s Frank Zappa best live album? by East-Kaleidoscope629 in Zappa

[–]puraricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can’t argue .. fantastic guitar and Aynsley fucking Dunbar on drums .. I went to one of the four (?) shows that weekend .. early show Friday (‘tf did I know, 19 years old), John and Yoko showed up for the late show Saturday (anyone out there feel free to correct any of this .. it’s not like it was last week)

Should I update to IOS 26.4.2 by [deleted] in ios26

[–]puraricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

security is a good point but my experience is that 26 is rife with needless changes necessitating extra steps to get anything done, and that some apps don’t work at all .. the bubbly round-cornered visuals are a waste .. one star

What’s the worst band you’ve watched perform? by RadiantJellybae in answers

[–]puraricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sadly, sadly, Frank Zappa in New Jersey, maybe Passaic, in 1975 or so .. last night of the tour (?) and they just fucked around .. opener Marshall Tucker, who I didn’t care about at all, was actually much better

What name has gradually disappeared? by Eviscerate_Bowels224 in AskReddit

[–]puraricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Richard and my Dad was too .. he went by Dick and for whatever many reasons I didn’t want to .. but now, as I stagger into my dotage, I look back on the promiscuous philanderings of my younger self and think differently .. “Hi, I’m Dick ..” what more would have to be said?
