When Hot Rats first dropped onto my sick little teenage record player back in
1969, I planted myself on the floor and sandwiched my head between the two speakers,
expecting yet another masterpiece from Frank Zappa.

But what another masterpiece!

Even by Frank's brilliant standards, Hot Rats is in a class by itself. With its
angular melodies, quick-change rhythms, and eccentric arrangements, Hot Rats basically
invented that peculiar musical genre known as fusion. I think it also remains the finest
jazz-rock album of all time. Everything about Hot Rats, from Sugarcane Harris's
screeching violin to Ian Underwood's exuberant saxes (not to mention Don Van Vliet at
his growly Beefheartiest) continues to amaze me. I've been listening to it for more than
three decades now, and I keep hearing new things in Frank's extended guitar solos, which
play like sneaky little compositions within the bigger pieces. (And does anyone else hear
a wee bit of Stravinsky's Petrouchka in "Willie the Pimp"?)

One little confession: the cover of Love Is Hell, my first cartoon book, was
inspired by the graphic starkness of the Hot Rats cover. I admitted this to Frank and Gail
several years ago, which led to Gail asking me to write this little piece. Gail also asked if
I still had my original beat-up LP copy of Hot Rats, so here it is reproduced in all its
mottled, stained, dog-eared glory, complete with candle-wax drippings.

HOT RATS ... HOT ROOTS ... HOT ZITS ... what another masterpiece!
