Which mutates faster? A virus, or news stories about celebrities on the internet?
A man recently posing as David Lee Roth was stopped by police for speeding near Brantford, Ontario and told the authorities he was suffering from an allergic reaction to peanuts. The man continued to pose as Roth at the local hospital where he was treated for his condition, and then later at a pub. That’s the story that was reported in the press at first. It was later reported the impostor was formerly a drummer in a local rock band and was often mistaken for Roth.
I thought the kicker to this story was the two officers who pulled him over did not recognize him, nor did they know who David Lee Roth is. Both of the two young officers, both in their twenties, were not familiar with the singer or Van Halen.
After the news reports surfaced out of Ontario, Roth’s publicist issued a statement…
“I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival,” Lee Roth said in a statement. “I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I’m allergic to …

Here’s a concert event you really want to own on DVD! Dweezil’s Zappa Plays Zappa concert tour. Actually there’s 2 versions of this new release. The 2-disc DVD set is called the Brilliant Box, which runs 205 minutes.
The 5-disc limited edition fanpack features the double-DVD set and 3 audio CD’s containing the entire concert, totaling 270 minutes. Both will be released Tuesday April 29th.
You know this has to be good, because Dweezil studied Frank’s music for years before pulling together this awesome touring ensemble. I saw the first leg of this tour in Grand Prairie in December 2006 and every one of these band members just blew away the audience, with Dweezil conducting and playing with the zeal only a true Zappa can accomplish.
Check out the video trailer for the new ZPZ DVD on their official website www.zappaplayszappa.com

Here’s a taste of what you missed (with audio almost as bad as the New Orleans House of Blues’) of the current lineup of Zappa Plays Zappa featuring Dweezil Zappa. I wish I could find a better video of the current band but this gives you an idea at least of how fabulous they are. This video is from Minneapolis a week earlier. Suzy Creamche-, uh I mean Shelia the keyboard/saxophone player is, uh, I mean, her playing was hot. Yeah, whatever. Really, the show was an incredible display of musician

It's a busy week for jazz and creative music in St. Louis, with concerts, a free festival, and club gigs that will offer something for musical tastes ranging from traditional jazz to mainstream to seriously warped. Speaking of warped, for yr. humble editor, a confirmed Zappaphile since my teens, the highlight of the next few days will be the return of Zappa Plays Zappa to The Pageant on Monday evening. Based on the band's 2006 appearance at the same venue, I can heartily recommend the ZPZ show
