 Visit My eBay Store... The Rock Generation by Dennis C. Benson  ~  This is a book and two Soundsheet set. Abingdon Press, 1976. Trade paperback, 80 pages. As a Christian minister Benson provides a more progressive than is typical look at rock music. In other words, he manages not to blame rock and roll for everything that was supposedly wrong with kids in the 1970s. Although that's pretty nice, the star attraction here is the set of 33 1/3 rpm Soundsheets with 24 tracks that are mostly rare!

Here's a full transcription of Frank Zappa's "Decorating time":

... gotta decorate time for other people, and in the process, I decorate time for my own amusement. So I just go around decorating pieces of time, with physical activity, notes, agitated air, and things like that. We can decorate time in a number of ways; there's all different kinds of architecture, there's all different kinds of design, there's all diff... different kinds of TIME DENSITY - and, depending on how much, er, interest you have in appreciated, appreciating decorated time, then, that will indicate how intensely that time may be decorated before it peaks your mind out - you know? Some people will see a, a, or be exposed to a decorated time event and be boggled by it because it is just too active for them to perceive, they can't unravel it, and other people ... will see a, a time event that might be, er, wonderful for one person, or, for another person might be too boring because there's not enough goin' on in it. I have a tendency to take time and ... work it to death.

We went through all those dilemmas sittin' around goin' "oh, what'll we do with the kids," you know? I think the best thing to do is ... give'em a little briefing, you know, tell'em ... "you're gonna be goin' to public school, you know, they're a little WEIRD out there, but, you know, just be tough, and, er ... go down there and do it!"

I can only speak from my experience with my own kids, 'cause ... they're the ones that I hang out with the most. They make up their own things that are fun to do, and whatever they like to do - we just let'em do it. You know? They wanna draw on the wall? Heh heh, go ahead, heh! We, as a matter of fact, when we found out they could draw very well on the wall, we got some unfinished furniture and gave'em some magic markers and told'em to do the furniture too! You know, whenever they do pictures, we always save'em, and put'em up ... and, er, they're encouraged to be as ... artistically creative as they wanna be. They dance ... er, if we put on a Stravinsky record, they ... go berserk, they run around the living room, and - Moon and Dweezil both, they do ballet! And - they also like to do stunts - you know, there's an alternative solution, you know, if you think ballet is a bit too POOFTERISH, they also like to kick things over and wrestle, and, er ... Dweezil likes KUNG FU and KARATE ... and, you know, like that! They decorate their time their own way.
