That always baffled me too.  Maybe it was a Camron Crowe inside joke?

I always thought it was an inside joke, accentuating Rat's ineptitude with not only women, but getting the right tune on the 8 track.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Long ago there was a thing on the internet called FireTalk on which I charmed many a lady by playing Roy Orbison, Marty Robbins, and Elvis recordings.

I have hundreds of hours of MP3s of music from that era.

I went to the Triva section of IMDB and found this about that. 
"When Mike Damone gives Rat his "five point plan" he says, "And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV." However the sound track plays "Kashmir" which is not on Led Zeppelin IV, but Physical Graffiti. This is because the producers couldn't get the rights to Led Zeppelin IV."

Listened to a friend's copy of Pictures of an Exhibition and was mesmerized by the talent of ELP.  To this day, I consider them one of the 4 ultimate musician''s musican's group.  For just pure musicianship that group includes ELP, Pink Floyd, Yes, and Rush.  This and the following few months was the time when we had to listen to Watergate garbage on the news everynght.  Music was a nice respite.

Albums that month-
Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits
Rare Earth- One World
Alice Cooper - Muscle of Love.....   Which was an awful disappointment considering the previous 4 albums.  Garbage.

My first album-1966.



Zappa was an eccletric genius.  Most everyone I knew, including myself had Apostrophe. What are your top 2 or 3 Zappa/Mothers albums?

You are not kidding.  I had to look it up, and I knew Zappa was prolific, but I didn't realize he had 62 albums in his lifetime.

Here's one called "I'm the Slime" from Overnight Sensation, that embodies Anthony Fauci to a "T"


------"I am gross and perverted. I'm obsessed 'n deranged. I have existed for years, but very little has changed. I'm the tool of the government and industry too, for I am destined to rule and regulate you. I may be vile and pernicious, but you can't look away. I make you think I'm delicious, with the stuff that I say. I'm the best you can get. Have you guessed me yet?"

The Guess Who outcrops BTO enters the music scene with catchy hooks and riffs. Hope I don't offend too many fans, saying that outside their few hits, band overall was pretty boring and tepid. Some bands just didn't age well.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Some others to consider:

Blind Faith
Canned Heat
Cream
Kansas
Procol Harum
Robin Trower
Steve Miller Band
Ten Years After
Trapeze
Lord Buckley

Might as well add Traffic and Humble Pie to that list
