Love me some Feat. Hard to believe George has been gone that long.

Willin' is reportedly the song that got him 86'ed from the Mothers due to its drug use advocacy. Zappa wasn't down with drugs although he supposedly liked the song but felt there was "no place for it in the Mothers' set" and suggested George split to form his own band. So Little Feat was born.

Already had it in the queue for tunight's show.
