Nite Life, David Brenner's talk show, 1986.

The reference to the Crusades is interesting -- there's an old Simpsons where Roger Myers Sr., defending Itchy & Scratchy and cartoon violence, points out that the Crusades happened before animation was even invented. Knowing what a Zappa fan Groening is, I wonder if he picked up that comparison here.

By the time this posts I should be well into an evening of drunken revels. My good friends Brad and Felipe are furnishing homebrew for this, the party before my wedding. (Not really a bachelor party per se, as we've got ladies and children coming along as well.)

Maybe I'll have pictures to share later. In the meantime, here's my favorite drinking song:

Per uploader zappainfrance:

Seal Call Fusion Music 3:14
"We Don't Mess Around" Circus Krone, Munich/Sept. 8, 1978
includes quotes from "Day By Day" (Stordahl/Weston/Cahn)
and "Penguin In Bondage" (Frank Zappa)

(And yes, you may have seen this briefly posted last night and then promptly yanked when I realized I'd accidentally posted two Zappa videos on the same day. I am trying to get them scheduled in advance given my busy schedule this week, and I managed to confuse my sleep-deprived self.)

A favorite from Joe's Garage; it taught me all the German I know.

Geneva, 1980; uploaded by Jimmie B. Extra-NSFW, even by Zappa standards.
