Here Fido, here fido
Frank Zappa and The Mothers, they had the best place around............
Wait until these ‘fresh converts’ see the album cover for Joe’s Garage. I imagine many would find that to be ‘problematic’, thereby resulting in Zappa’s posthumous cancellation.
Arf. Arf. Arf.
I have never been able to conclude whether Zappa was a bizarre genius or a somewhat skilled conman who fooled people into believing he was something much greater than he was.
Billy was a mountain.
Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder.
There is already a Zappa documentary on Amazon Prime. I’m 67 and the generation he played to. I could never get into his stuff. I’ve tried recently and I still can’t.
I did enjoy Montana and, as a teenager, Dynamo Hum had a certain, um, “charm”, but that was it.
But his abstaining from all drugs and alcohol is interesting, considering his music causes one to infer the exact opposite.
Anyway, at about the 5 minute mark Here's My Alma Mater GA Southern doing some Zappa.

“I have never been able to conclude whether Zappa was a bizarre genius or a somewhat skilled conman who fooled people into believing he was something much greater than he was.”
Listen hear Warner brother exec.
It’s obvious you never listened to his music.
...or you’re retarded.
“While pondering the significance of pedal depressed pan chromatic resonance, and other highly ambient domains..”
You’ve heard his music?
I sang Evelyn to my son growing up tucking him in bed before his prayers.
We sang it together.
He can sing it perfectly today at 18 yo.
Wanna eat some clams?
You either love or hate him. I’ve been a fan since I was 13. He has some great stuff and some that is not. He certainly could see into the future and the direction of society. Back from his “Freak Out” album “and I don’t even care if your dad’s a he.” Or just listen to the rarely listened to “Joe’s Garage act II and III”.
To the contrary, his individualism, for better or worse, was never affected by drugs or booze.
I agree with you—I never could understand the appeal.
