The art of allegory deeply advanced...
So I suggest two interpretations:
EITHER symbolic, ridiculous and cynical way of showing the so-called and unavailing men's superiority OR huge dick fortunately used in a peaceful and loving way. But then you may probably don't ask me: how about zappaian guitars...

A duo between two of the worlds Free Improvisation/Free Jazz greats! The Pauls have a long association though the incredible improvising quartet Mujician and have played just about everywhere with just about everyone! For me this promises to be one of the outstanding improvisation gigs of 2009!

(it means something untranslatable like "thanks for add, I put my facial line on your cactus laughs") ZU from Lyon (France)

And here is a personnal tribute to the Zappa's prospective mischievous muse… Live in France 1987, by ZUKBOX, my jazz-rock sextet at this time.



That’s here (audio area of my page + clic on Lyrics button too): Frank's Baggage ZUKBOX (ZU) - Live in France - 1987
Not so perfect (live) but I wish you'll like it !
See ya !
