RIGHT. I've spent the last 6 hours buried away expanding my minimal Frank Zappa knowledge, drinking water and chain smoking and so far the highlights have been:
the quotes in Absolutely Free from 'Rites of Spring', Flower Punk tearing the psychedelic cliche's of a lifetime to pieces with a parody of 'Hey Joe' (ironically sounds like an amazing album to have a blaze to) Well okay that's only two but I'm still a bit overwhelmed and it's pretty late. His 60's work is amazing and totally underexposed, I hope Macca still blushes when he hears Freak Out! and Sgt.Pepper's mentioned in the same sentence. Oh yeah and didn't Alternative TV cover 'Why dontcha do me right'?? Course they did! Brilliant. If you still need convincing, cop Cardboard's Zappa compilation. ker-ching! |

May I suggest this thread be moved to general music? Zappa was certainly a multitalented man and was once a classical composer and conductor, Anyways it should get more interest in him...

good idea but Zappa at his satirical best was no doubt we're only in it for the money, did anyone see that debate he was in about censorship in music? it was hilarious haha. By far one of my favorite artists of all time

I came across this the other day. Prob a bit boring for some but I found it very interesting and enlightening. He's pretty straight up with all the questions
