Quotable, controversial, anarchic, charismatic and handsome (in an ugly way), the zany avant-garde rocker Frank Zappa had everything one needs to be a star, except talent.
The doc “Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words” cuts together concert and interview footage to make it clear that Zappa (who died in 1993) was once famous, though it doesn’t tell us why.

Yes, that no talent person somehow managed to perform
his own work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

He’s only about the most talented improvisational guitarist that’s ever been.

Looking forward to that doc. Also looking forward to Smith getting cancer of the eye.

If you got sufficiently high, and I’m not talking weed here, Zappa’s music faded into the background and the lyrics started broadcasting to you personally. It was like another brain connection.

Zappa was one of the greatest axe men of all time and his song Any way the wind blows. should be Hillary's theme.

I read the article. It’s nonsense.
Zappa produced crap by the buckets-load but he also put out some very good stuff. Sheik Yerbouti was a good album, as was Uncle Meat, as was Weasels Ripped My Flesh, as was...

Also, “Teenage Freedom” is the perfect anthem for the Feel the Bern crowd: Free is when you don’t got to do nothin or pay for nothin I got to be free, free as the wind...

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

“Trouble Every Day” is just as relevant now as it was then.
