. The last song, Watermelon in Easter Hay, is sublime Zappa guitar work, and is imagined by Joe as one last act before surrendering his musical soul.
Profound.

You forgot what happens after he surrenders his musical soul... A Little Green Rosetta - dumb repetition of a jolly little phrase, which in context is a grim downbeat ending 😥
I don't quite remember where I started with Zappa. I love the band with George Duke and Tom Fowler - try the YCDTOSA volume subtitled The Helsinki Concert. The late 70s/80s stuff is great too - Sheik Yerbouti, You Are What You Is - and my favourite, "side two" of Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch.
