No drugs in Zappa's bands.

He had a strict policy.

"Frank Zappa did not take drugs or drink alcohol , like many people undoubtedly assume. In fact, he took an aggressive anti-drug approach to the drug culture of the 60’s, which evolved from LSD to heroine to cocaine. He believed that taking drugs would transform people and mutate their personalities and values. In believing this, he was very adamant in promoting a no drug policy among his band members, ensuring that there was no drug use while on the road touring."

That's in my top five, for sure.

Along with this one:

Can we pinch the French national anthem,,, perhaps as reward for helping them in two world wars.
Even the Yanks and Sarth Aafricans have better anthems than we do.

I used to like the BoDeans.

That was Robbie Robertson introducing them, by the way.

I've always liked Robbie, and The Band.

He's an underrated musician.
