[peel] Re: Did Peel ever play Tom Waits?

I may have missed this elsewhere (just catching up with the backlog of messages) but I remember Peel playing a Ruben and the Jets tune on the day Zappa died. John was pretty choked up as I recall.

There's a couple of Mothers of Invention appearances on the Wiki from Perfumed Garden days (think there's also actually another couple, but Ihaven't done the tracklistings yet).Also, this one from Top Gear:http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/06_July_1969Also this Top Gear, 11 August 1968, which I've had for ages from somewhere or other, but also hadn't got up on the Wiki yet and just found on a blog via a quick google:http://halsprogressiverockblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/john-peel-top-gear-bbc-radio-1.htmlCheers,Steve W--- In peel@yahoogroups.com, Jimmy Stepek <jimmystep@...> wrote:>> Tape T070 dated 1979-02-14> > Frank Zappa: Rat Tomago (LP - Sheik Yerbouti) CBS> > > http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/T070> > --- On Sun, 26/10/08, Roger Carruthers <roger.carruthers@...> wrote:> > > > > > > > Re: [peel] Re: Did Peel ever play Tom Waits?> Ditto Frank Zappa ? > > I think I posted the question here once before, but apart from some early Mothers, eg. in the final Perfumed Garden, I don’t recall ever hearing any Zappa on Peel, which considering his prodigious output, would seem a deliberate omission â€" possibly because John was fond of Beefheart, who fell out with Zappa, or perhaps he couldn’t quite stomach Zappa’s famously cynical world view?>
