Lewis* INTRODUCTION Who is an Indian for purposes of criminal prosecution in the United States’ federal courts under the Major Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1153?2 The statute does not say. While seemingly straightforward, the answer to this question may be complicated and uncertain. Moreover, if one is in the Eighth Circuit or the Ninth Circuit, the answer may differ. Historically, the test from U.S. v. Rogers3 determined Indian status for federal criminal prosecution. However, over time, as political, institutional and demo- graphic conditions changed, so did the test. Congress’ enactment of the Major Crimes Act, which was based on alarmism and devoid of a doctrinal foundation, changed the test for In- dian status and how it is applied. In the aftermath of the Court’s decision 1. FRANK ZAPPA, YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS (Zappa Records 1981). * Brian L.

Agosto 1957 Gentile Signore, forse ricorderà la mia stupida telefonata dello scorso gennaio... Mi chiamo Frank Zappa e ho 16 anni. Le sembrerà strano ma è da quando ho 13 anni che mi interesso alla sua musica. All’epoca l’unica formazione musicale che avevo era qualche rudimento di tecnica del tamburo. Negli ultimi due anni però ho composto alcuni brani musicali utilizzando una rigorosa tecnica dei dodici suoni con risultati che ricordano Anton Webern. Ho scritto due brevi quartetti per fiati e una breve sinfonia per legni ottoni e percussioni. Ultimamente guadagno qualche soldo per mantenermi con la mia blues band, The Blackouts. Dopo il college conto di continuare a comporre e penso mi sarebbero veramente utili i consigli di un veterano come lei. Se mi permettesse di farle visita anche solo per poche ore gliene sarei molto grato. Le sembrerà strano ma penso proprio di avere qualche nuova idea da offrirle in materia di composizione. La prego di rispondermi il più presto possibile perché non resterò a lungo a questo indirizzo. La ringrazio per l’attenzione. Cordiali saluti Frank Zappa Jr. ................... 2 1 PEACHES EN REGALIA [VAMP] I duri del rock lo sentono come loro proprietà esclusiva, come profeta anti- establishment. Gli accademici lo tollerano in quanto compositore... un’eccezione! per il mondo del rock. Chi lo vuole un giullare simbolo della trasgressione più anarcoide.....

THE MONSTER WHO NEEDED NO MAKEUP / John RILEY 1 1. STRAVINSKY’S INFLUENCE IN FRANK ZAPPA’S MUSIC, PART I John Anthony In mid-1950s, while American teenagers were tuning into radio stations and buying records of rock and roll artists such as Elvis Presley and Fats Domino, a young teenager named Frank Zappa was searching for a different sound. What Zappa found was the jagged rhythms and dissonant sound masses produced by twentieth century composers such as Edgard Varese, Anton Weber, and Igor Stravinsky. By studying these sounds and listening to an assortment of rock and blues guitarists, Zappa was able to create an entirely new form of art music that combined rock, classical, blues, pop, and jazz. Igor Stravinsky had a particularly important influence in Frank Zappa’s music. Zappa borrowed compositional techniques from Stravinsky, including Isomelism, Polymeter, Stratification, and Quotation. Also, I will be looking at particular melodies from The Rite of Spring, Petrushka, Firebird Suite, and A Soldier’s Tale that Zappa specifically used in his music usually quoting the passage exactly (with some alterations usually occurring in the rhythm) or taking a melody and creating a completely new idea. Some of the music that I will be incorporating in this paper includes “Status Back Baby,” from Playground Psychotics (1992) “Oh No,” and “Toad of the Short Forest,” from Weasels Ripped My Flesh (1970) and Echnida’s Arf (Of You)” and ”Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing?” from Roxy & Elsewhere (1974).
