Yep. Zappa was incredibly creative but definitely offensive. Obnoxious atheist too. I wish he would have just done instrumentals myself.

“Zappa was incredibly creative but definitely offensive. Obnoxious atheist too. “

You seem to take his “stage persona” as what he was really like. He was quiet, thoughtful, and very observant. Very, VERY, anti drugs. His early music, specially when he still had the MOI, was viciously funny regarding anything either Hip or Hippy. He came to regard the MOIs as a band he wished he hadn’t been associated with. But they were very funny! We discussed this once after I told him I loved the early Mothers because they made me laugh. I enjoy humor in music! I guess I got hooked on Spike Jones at an early age! Frank was without a doubt, one of the very smartest, talented, people I’ve ever met.
