John O. Lennon Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Is it "Bozzio" (w/short "o")... ..."Bohzzio" (w/long "o", like Bozo)... ..."Botzzio" (w/short "o" & Italian "t/z")... ...or "Boatzzio" (w/long "o" & Italian "t/z") ?

John O. Lennon Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanx, Jeff...but with the divergence of opinion can this be confirmed...? & what about the "t/z" thing; Italians always seem to pronounce "zz" that way---is it be "Botzio"?

WaterfallMusicCompany Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I can tell you confidently because of my drummer's 20+ year facination with the man and the fact that we went to one of his drum clinics about a year and a half ago that it is how the weasel says it is: Bo, like hoe, zee like zebra, and o like Oh my God this is taking way to long.

Botch. Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Zappa always introduced him as "Boe-Zee-Oh" on many live recordings, but then would you ever tell Frank he was wrong?

John O. Lennon Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 The very honor that you'd select my question for your first post here at Music Player...also makes it suspicious that you'd select my, apparently tiresome ("this is taking way too long"---or were ya talking about that "flood protection" ), question for your first post here at MP...& you have just the authoritative qualifications I asked for(!).

WaterfallMusicCompany Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 What inspired my reply was offramp's post calling weasel a suckass when infact weasel was exactly right. The reason for the time comment was the time I wasted reading posts from people like offramp who obviously DON'T KNOW the answer but chime in anyway...but yes the flood messages are annoying too.

But yes, Weasel is right so far as I know too. Never met Bozzio but I knew a lot of folks in L.A. who knew/worked with him and they always pronounced it Da Weasel way.

Initally, I'd've given WMC some slack on this, given that he/she is extremely new to the forums and hasn't been steeped in the sense of humor and 'net relationships here...but, in view of that newness, I note an obvious willingness to be nasty without considering said newness and that WMC might be reading things incorrectly. Slack rescinded. ANYWAY... As far as the pronunciation goes: Hell, I'm from the Midwest. We're TAUGHT to mispronounce from birth; those of us who know better eventually have to leave the region for risk of being branded an traitor. I never said I was correct. I only offered the only way I'd ever heard it pronounced, being a drummer since '74. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
