Zappa's long been a personal hero of mine - just a total badass and strong man

Cool post. I'm a huge Zappa fan. Interestingly, Zappa works his game like he works his art -- by defying convention and making things potentially uncomfortable.

He would break up his pop songs with avant garde sections and his classical compositions with dissonance or outright noise (or even talking, as on Lumpy Gravy). Even "The Real Frank Zappa Book" plays with the conventions of print, making liberal use of bold and italics.

Here, he turns the interview into a circus full of sexual innuendo. Actually, he totally controls the frame, since there is barely any interview. Since they're talking about the impending release of the Thing-Fish album, this must have been 1983 and he'd have been around age 42.

That's the one-and-only Captain Beefheart on lead vocals!! I was going to do a post on how the guy is a serious Alpha when I learned a few things about his personal life. The short summary: He was around 30 when he married his wife -- who was 18 and just out of high school. I always assumed he had an old hippie bride. Not quite.

I've been a Beefheart fan since high school. Understanding what he does with music is almost like learning another language. Entirely new school of thought.

As a guitar player and life long musician, Zappa has been one of the greatest hero's in my life. He left this earth way too young, like Hendrix, Cobain, Bonham, Moon, Janis and on and on.

We used to snicker at this record as kids;




He's battle against the PMRC in the 80's was his most red-pill moment IMHO.
