Frank Zappa was one of those artists that I didn’t dislike, but never really got heavy into. I recognize his talent and intelligence, but I never could get all that into the music. Trying to listen to an entire album was just Zappa overload.
Small doses, fine. Large doses, I couldn’t really deal.

College in Boston Apologizes for Letting Police Officers Use Its Bathrooms
Fox News | June 11 2020 | Greg NormanBoston’s Berklee College of Music is now apologizing for “perpetuating feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalization” by allowing the city’s police officers to use its bathrooms.
The school’s public safety department, in a Facebook post, said Boston Police have been staging officers near the institution since a May 31 demonstration in memory of George Floyd. This past Sunday, officials let the cops use the Berklee Performance Center’s restrooms after an informal decision was “made on the spot.”
“We have heard from many of you personally and across social channels of your hurt and anger that this access was permitted, especially as the facility is not currently open for students and members of our community,” the statement read. “Allowing police officers into the space was in no way meant to undermine Berklee’s support for Black Lives Matter.
