Z ZERO the Hero - song from Canterbury-scene jazz-rock/psychedelic band , Gong. Features on their Flying Teapot album (1973). First saw them play live on a makeshift stage, behind the Virgin Records shop at the bottom of the Moor, Sheffield, shortly after the album was released. By the way, it took thousands of years from the origins of mathematics, for the number zero to be established.
