TW would have been beyond amazing to see live...and he will always be my #1 singer/songwriter.
“Small Change” is a masterpiece album...and helped to launch “Elvira” for Cassandra Peterson.
Frank Zappa:
“One thing that did happen during the Sixties was some music of an unusual or experimental nature did get recorded or did get released. Now look at who the executives were in those companies at those times. Not hip young guys. These were cigar-chomping old guys who looked at the product that came and said, ‘I don’t know. Who knows what it is. Record it. Stick it out. If it sells, alright.’ We were better off with those guys than we are now with the supposedly hip young executives who are making the decisions of what people should see and hear in the marketplace. The young guys are more conservative and more dangerous to the art form than the old guys with the cigars ever were. …Next thing you know [the hip young executive has] got his feet on the desk and he’s saying, ‘Well we can’t take a chance on this because that’s not what the kids really want and I know.’ And they got that attitude. And the day you get rid of that attitude and get back to ‘Who knows. Take a chance.’ That entrepreneurial spirit where even if you don’t like or understand what the record is that’s coming in the door, the person who is in the executive chair may not be the final arbiter of taste of the entire population.”
Recorded March 10, 1968 at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.

Anything 80s and before. The majority since has been...less than “rad.”
Good response
Zappa changed mylife
My hearing is shot, but can still faintly hear the crap they play at my gym.
Computer drum tracks endlessly .. thump-thump-thump-thump
Interspersed with shouting and chanting with the thumping, no singing.
Sometime some weird guy howls in a falsetto voice. Wife says it is not ghetto music, but what “they” listen to these days.
Great song. The entire album. Great.
Mine, too!
Schroeder rocked!
