Actually, there are only 257 individual Zappa tracks on the station. And I have very little control over what gets played when. Random is truly random, except within the confines of the requesting and repeat rules. Every other time it generates a random number, grabs the track, and queues it up.

This is quite the mistaken impression. Zappa does, in fact, get selected randomly by SAM. I know this because during my graveyard tenure, there would inevitably be a non-requested Zappa chart popping up.

Yes, I know it's non-requested because I'd look to see who kept requesting it. It was never the same Zappa, but it would show up all the same. Different song, different time, same ol' Zappa.

That's a reason I played a Acquiring the Taste cut on my show, cause it's not yet on the Moon.
Good. Let me know where it is and I'll add it to the library.

Roger -Dot- Lee, needs to get caught up with Gnosis too.
