From what I know of the family, it's a real shame it has come to this.  I can't imagine what Ahmet is thinking by doing Dweezil like this.  Of course, I don't know either of them except through interviews and the media, but, I thought they were closer.  Like on the same page closer.  I just hope it doesn't drive Dweezil off the road.  I haven't seen the band yet and I would like a chance to go.

Jeebus Christ, I might willingly die for either of my brother and sister, and these jackasses are feuding like this over bullshit.  >:(

Frank was a very particular and demanding person.  I expect each of his children got it to some degree or other.  Although, I really thought Dweezil and Ahmet were pretty close.

Or not close at all?

And now Lady Gaga has gone and bought the house.  Along with the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen :(
