Tommy Mars
[edit]Tommy Mars – Keyboards, Vocals, 'Jesus!'
What the hell is 'Jesus!' ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.64.118 (talk) 21:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
On "Panty Rap", Zappa is talking about making a quilt out of panties and how the bandmembers sometimes sniff women's underwear, and one time, Mars caught a pair with "remnants" inside and exclaimed "JESUS!" upon smelling them. Then when he introduces Mars during the lineup introduction, he says Tommy Mars plays "keyboards and 'JESUS!'". --WTF (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Cover art
[edit]The title under "Tinseltown Rebellion" is Crush All Boxes, not "Fred Zappelin". You can clearly see the letters C, R, U and S under the spraypaint. --WTF (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Tinseltown vs. Tinsel Town
[edit]The name of this Zappa album is Tinseltown Rebellion, not Tinsel Town Rebellion. "Tinseltown" (not "Tinsel Town") is a nickname for Hollywood, California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.67.125.132 (talk) 23:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- Zappa's own website, confusingly enuff, uses both spellings. The discography at http://www.zappa.com/fz/discography/index.html, says "Tinseltown," but that page links to a page where both the album and the song titles are spelled "Tinsel Town." The sleeve seems NOT to have the space. Anybody know what's on the spine of the LP or CD, or on the actual vinyl or CD? PurpleChez (talk) 18:57, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
- The title of the song and the album is consistently written "Tinsel Town Rebellion" on the label, spine, and printed credits of the original vinyl album. Only the handwritten title on the cover (by Calvin Schenkel) has no apparent space between "Tinsel" and "Town." Sincronio (talk) 16:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
