There were times when the orchestra players felt the same way about Zappa. and his matriarchy. Attired in pony tail and yellow-striped pants, Zappa started things off himself: "All right, Zubin, hit it."

Jackson's nose is 41 ft. long, one of the biggest-if not the best-noses in the history of Western art. The whole composition measures 190 ft. by 305 ft., set 400 ft. up in a carved...
