POP/ROCK - Dec. 11, 1987

Frank Zappa hits the road in February for a major U.S.-European tour with an 11-piece band--one of the largest he’s ever assembled. The program includes such titles as “Peaches En Regalia,” “Mr. Green Genes” and “Watermelon in Easter Hay” and new songs “When the Lie’s So Big,” about Pat Robertson’s presidential campaign, and “Why Don’t You Like Me,” a song that includes a list of people who “are not the illegitimate children of Michael Jackson.” Zappa begins his tour Feb. 2 in Albany, N.Y.
