The 1996 Guestbook

FRIENDS OF FREAX IN 1996...

I always wondered who shot those pixx of Frank! Way to go! Wish my attempts to snap Frank had been as successful as yours, but I was in the position of a camera-smuggling arena-goer and hadda be content with shots from the 16th row on the floor. Guess if you want the best photo-ops, you got-ta have a press pass!

WAY COOL AND GROOVIER THAN SUPERFLY AND SHAFT TOGETHER

Hi, Phil!
Couldn't wait to visit the unleashed site as soon as I got the message. It's better than I ever thought! Thanks for the postcard. See ya...

My god. There's life through here

Hey!
This place is the BEE'S KNEES, but it's FREE, you gotta be crazy!... wanna make a deal?
This stuff's worth a *FORTUNE*

I finally found some Greer on the net

It is great to see the long lost good old days resurfacing on the net. I graduated from high school in '74, so your pictures and the artists in them mean a great deal to me. Thanks for the memories and for showing the young what it was all about!

Just keep Truckin' on..

Photographs the truly pithed could love... One heckuva yawn. Looks like you dropped a brick on his foot.

I like the Frank Zappa page. 'No commercial potential', but wonderful.
Continue!

I am enjoy reading you story and I wished I can do the same... But... never mind. Anyway, don't forget to write to me if you have samething intersting. Okay!

Got to go now... chowwww...

This site is a reat treat - thanks for letting me peep. Did you ever capture Kevin Ayers?

Great! Grrreat! GRRRRRRREAT!

I really loved it! Can you or anyone help me finding websites featuring anything about the obscene Lenny Bruce? Love to ya all.

I love all of these photographs! I'm Hoping to become a photographer, and hopefully a successful one!!

Most of these pictures existed before we were able to appreciate them!
Thanx for the vicarious memories. We are part of an era by proxy! And remember, for a low low fee, you too can experience the Apocalypse in your living room!

got a big surprise out of this. its really good. i wasnt even looking for anything like this

thanx for upholding the ghost of FZ !
I'm 46 years old and absolute new on internet but one of the first things, I have to do is: LOOKING FOR FRANK ! For me, FZ was one of the most important people (not only musicians !!!) on the world. I'm very sad ! But I store some facettes of his life in form from CDSs and Vinyls.
Sorry for my bad english and sorry for this late speech but: Thinking on his early die, I get pain in my throat....... nevertheless: His music is one of the things, that escort my life - and I think, one day, I can shake hands with Frank.

Dear Phil and dearest Lola,
We are looking forward to seeing you in July. Hey I dig the sexy web page.
Bye.
Love Jane Bell

Verry nice pictures. Thanks to Paul G Ward who have send me this URL.

Hello ! Nice to meet someone who dedicate a part of his site to the Great Miles Davis ! Like a freshmen on the web, I'm delighted to discover the mass of information we can get with internet. It was nice to visit you, your adress is now in my list... so I'll be back !!!

Spectacular page, great art, great artists, I would like to receive more information about Frank Zappa, Daevid Allen, Genesis, and more people like that, Ah, and also about that guy Phil Freax

"I should be sincere and confess that, lately, the little pile which arrives habitually was growing smaller. At first I attributed it to the nosy Government agents. Then I realized that good people get tired... and they stop writing... and sometimes, they stop fighting... Yeah I know that writing a letter isn't exactly an assault on the Winter Palace. But the letters made us travel so far. One day we would be in Tijuana, the next in Merida, sometimes in Michoacan, or in Guerrerro, Veracruz, or Guanajuato, Chiahuahua, Nayarit, Queretaro or the D.F. Sometimes we would travel farther to Chile, Paraguay, Spain, Italy, Japan... those trips that gave us more than one smile and warmed cold sleepless nights or refreshed the heat of the days... Imagine our surprise when we read in your letter that you are grateful that we exist!"

Interesting start for what you say is something still under construction. I've bookmarked it and will check it again later.

Noticed a bit on Genesis, pre Phil Collins.
I like that style, but I really like the albums Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. After those two, it always took a while for me to get used to their subsequent albums.

My complaint about Philm Freak

This letter has three main sections. In the first, I argue that you can observe a definite bias in Philm Freak's deeds relating to insane warmongers. In the second, I make it clear that some deep void within Philm makes it necessary for him to trick academics into abandoning the principles of scientific inquiry. And in the third and final section, I conclude that money is not the solution to our Philm problem. To start, there is no honor in Philm's philosophies. There are arguments that have made respectable people out of writers like him. It's not just that Philm blames others for his obscene deeds, but also that his beliefs reek like rotten eggs. This is particularly interesting when you consider that his left hand doesn't know what his right hand is doing. We can see the damage that is done when he tries to poke someone's eyes out. What I want to document now is that what I call subhuman pseudo-intellectuals have no business here. I am not making a generalization when I say that Philm has become increasingly unimaginative ever since childhood. Never mind that I don't think it is a mere coincidence that his solutions have a distinctly yellow-bellied tone. What's really important is that one could argue that all of his ethics are paralogistic. You can see where this is going.

As will become apparent in a matter of days, the choice we face as a nation is whether to run our country ourselves or let cantankerous sullen vegetarians run it for us. By the way, Philm and others of his ilk are symbols of wretched diabolism. His tirades will cause more harm than good. His cohort don't want to make their own decisions but want Philm to do their thinking for them. He can't be trusted.

In the course of my work, I regularly come in contact with despicable testy zombies, and most of them also feel that I feel that it needs to be taken into account that he frequently takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as his own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating that principle. There are rumors circulating that one of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is terrorism, so let me just clarify something: We should act and act fast. Perhaps it sounds like stating the obvious to say that I'm doubtlessly bewildered by the sex-crazed nature of Philm's convictions. Misrepresent the truth if you like, Philm, because I simply don't care. The comparison between him and rotten huffy loan sharks is remarkable. It may seem obvious, but his ideals epitomize all that is pesky in the world. He always sounds like he's reading a prepared speech. Let me close by reminding you that I can't help it if Philm Freak can't take a joke.
