I kick myself that I did not appreciate Frank Zappa when he was with us - what I have learned about him is that he really was quite unique in many ways.

I mean, it sounds like a Zappa comeback, so it could definitely be true, but there is no actual video of it happening.

(How do I know it's AI? Pyne lost his left leg, always sat behind a desk and chain smoked, and...have you actually ever seen a prosthetic leg that looks like that steampunk thing in the video?)
