A bust of Frank Zappa was brought to the pioneering musician’s hometown of Baltimore, MD on Sunday. A replica of a statue erected in a public square in Vilnius, Lithuania, the bust was donated to Baltimore by Lithuanian Zappa fans. The statue was dedicated in a ceremony that coincided with the 25th anniversary of Zappa’s testimony before Congress on freedom of expression for recording artists, and included Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Zappa’s widow and three of his children, the mayor of Vilinus and Saulius Paukstys, the longtime president of a Lithuanian Zappa fan club who commissioned the original statue. The bust was placed on a 12-foot steel pole outside of an East Baltimore library; afterward, Dweezil Zappa’s band Zappa Plays Zappa performed. [Billboard.com]
