Not that I really listen to the radio but I think that here in Finland I've
heard both about the same number of times (that's about twice to be about
exact).

This is the point that I have something to say about!  Here Zappa and the
band did an unbelievable rendition of ``Stairway to (Bondage) Heaven'' with
lots of assorted bondage noises in the best Zappa fashion.  Too bad that the
UMRK Mobile had broken down in Norway -- this was all in all an unbelievable
almost all instrumental show because Zappa thought that Finns wouldn't
understand the vocal parts anyway.  Well, I'm not one to complain about
that!
