That was a nice surprise! At the end of tonight's new episode of The
Simpsons, they were having an academic awards show thing, and when they
announced the award for "Best Flutist," Martin came out and played a
flute line really similar to the one from Thick as a Brick. I thought
it was just a coincidence, but then he started singing the song (he got
in "...and the sandcastle virtues are all swept away" before Lisa hit
him with a chair). Then, as the credits rolled, they played the actual
song! It was great to see my favourite song on TV, even if it was being
made fun of  .

It's not on here yet. I'll have to watch it when it's on! I've heard that the creator is a huge fan of Captain Beefheart. -------------

That was so funny. That's definately the hardest I've laughed at The Simpsons in a long time. The best part is that at most 15% of the people watching it actually got it :) ------------- "Never forget that the human race with technology is like an alcoholic with a barrel of wine."

Sounds pretty funny. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Actually, not only is Matt Groening a huge Beefheart and Zappa fan, he was one of Zappa's closest friends in the last years before his death, and claimed him as one of his major influences. He was actually planning to launch a stage version of Zappa's last amazing work, "Civilization", but so far it hasn't happened... |

The episode is "Girls Just Want to Have Sums (HABF12)" And I loved hearing the 'real' version over the closing credits! * * * 27! * * * (My favorite joke from the episode) -------------  Grammy Award Winning Jethro Tull!

If you Matt Groening then that wouldn't surprise me at all. He's a huge Residents fan too.
