The best Frank Zappa tribute yet?

Ooops. I left an important set of pictures out of yesterday's NYC trip recap. On the drive home, we took a break at one of the rest stops in Maryland, just north of Baltimore and guess what I found? (The headline may help.)

I am a sucker for squashed penny machines and try to remember to carry some shiny coins to make especially pretty ones when I find them on my travels. I do prefer, however, that the penny has some relation, even a tangential one, to the region that's selling it.

And since Frank Zappa was born in Baltimore, his penny most definitely qualifies. He's the only musician I've ever seen immortalized in such a manner. Anyone out there seen any others?
