I always thought Steve could "name his price" if a band wanted him to lay down a few tracks on their behalf .. I thought the consecutive attacks on Frank Zappa within one week in 1971, firstly at the Montreux Casino in Geneva, Switzerland Dec. 4 that year, when Zappa and his band "The Mothers of Invention" were on stage, and a deranged concert attendee fired a flare onto the stage causing a fire that turned the casino and all of the band's gear to ash.
Then six days later on Dec 10, 1971 at the Rainbow Theatre in London, while the band was on stage using hired gear, a fan got onto the stage and punched Zappa then pushed him over, whereas he fell meters into the orchestra pit and sustained serious injuries .. it seems unbelievable that audience members would do such a thing, which brings Randy Quaid's "starwhacking" thesis to mind.
It all goes back to predictive programming that turned up in the 1978 satirical book and movie "Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe," that dealt with the murder of any talent that turns up that does not adhere to the ziocontrived status quo, that we say brought about the untimely deaths of Richard Burton, multi talented British author Mervyn Peake, and caused the debilitating illness that ended the career of great American guitarist Jason Becker.
