Arty Types?

Going to grown-up parties with other Hoboken parents (who we don't really know) isn't something the wife and I do often.....But we recently attended one and saw that they’re a lot like the shindigs of our teen years....They start early and everyone gets drunk fast. Lisa and I were greeted by a friendly fellow who decided he liked us since we looked like "arty types." Well, we’re not food critics or superheros, so we don’t usually appear in disguise (except when I’m confronting bands whose demos I haven't responded to), but believe you me, the wife and I are far from our, uh, "arty" days. Suffice it to say, we knew we were in for some good stuff. My favorite moment was when someone grabbed me and yelled "Hey, Frank Zappa!" Frank Zappa? Okay, over the years I've been compared to such fine looking gentlemen as Tiny Tim and Robert Smigel (why no-John Cusack, people?), but this was a new one, and I guess I'll take it. As long as no one makes us play spin the bottle.

No Frank Zappa here but how about some Fiery Furnaces:
