Not to forget that guy behind the Simpsons, Matt Groening, was a close
friend of Frank Zappa, visiting him and drinking Beck's Beer with him.

LIFE IN HELL

"Rise for the Flag Salute"

"I pledge allegiance to Frank Zappa of the United Mutations of America
And to the Duke of Prunes and Grand Wazoo for which he stands.
One Size fits All, Excentrifugal
With Yellow Sharks and Hot Rats for all. (he he)"
(The Present Day Composer Refuses to Die)
(Matt Groening 1993)
