...when I heard of his passing it was Pavlov's dog time, I immediately had that Zappa bit in my head.

I'm sure he knew of it, but it would be interesting to know if he was flattered, offended, or indifferent.

RIP, Jimmy.

If you and I thought of that, I'd bet others did too. I hope he was flattered. It sort of immortalized him... like the mudshark.

Very cool.

I sure hope Zappa was giving him a compliment, because Jimmy sure deserved it.
