TY Baker!!! Shit's ultra comfy lately. TY BO/BVs!
Nate is in a pickle because physical possession of classified material outside of designated areas is a bad idea. Nate took shit home with him. Nate did a morally just thing in an illegal way. Whistleblower or not, he's caught up in a very bad situation that was very much self inflicted.

I don't want to be (or seem like) a dick, but anyone naive enough to actually believe in "Whistleblower" laws is probably naive enough to think their special needs kid can "manage on their own way away from home". Admittedly, I don't know all the facts. I've had a bit of "overexposure" of people asking for "guidance and prayers" over the years, and sometimes you want to tell folks "You don't need prayers. You need a guidance counselor". Again, I don't have all the facts. Irrespective of all that, I think it's evident that Q is keeping Nate at arm's length.
Almost as good as Steve Vai.
That's the thing, babe. You think about us all the time. We hardly ever think about you.
In all fairness, Steve was Frank's "protege", and transcriptionist. I don't even want to imagine the task of putting Zappa's work to paper, let along trying to keep up on stage.
Steve's talent is rare.
