    Frank Zappa used to mention Phoebe Snow in the introduction to I Have Been In You in 1977 and 1978. Something about when the English pop star (a' la Peter Frampton) meets a young female fan: "...You put on the Phoebe Snow album, and turn it real soft, you know. Then you lay back in your teen-age bed, you put your teen-age legs up in the air in the universal gesture of greeting..."
