Frank Zappa appreciation!

[boxers]

In all fairness, Cobain himself said he was a shitty guitarist when he was alive, and was a Zappa fan. Anyway, Zappa was truly an original, it's easy to forget how unpopular speaking out against hippies/free love/total pacifism was in the 60's/early 70's music scene. Plastic People is worth listening to as much as possible, for my money.

Ive never heard Plastic People but your clearly aware of the obscure shit. Ive got Sleep Dirt which, apparently, is one of a few ablums released as a result of issues with Warner. Im about to google it cuz Im remembering a few other albums involved and musicians like Lowell George who did one off tracks to help fulfill contractual obligations and stuff

What is funny fucked-the-fuck up is that FZ is a fucking genius virtuoso but guys like Kurt Cobain make "Top 10 Guitarists of All Time" lists.

Were you wearing a Sears poncho?

Don't remember if I was wearing a real poncho I mean a Mexican poncho or a Sears poncho. Hmm, no fooling.

Bongo Fury is my A#1 goto, but after that my list becomes ponderous, from Freak Out! until the end. I will say I prefer his comedy/social commentary or rock/pop stuff almost exclusively. The abstract weird jazz/neo-classical/avant-garde stuff just does nothing for me, maybe I'm not Cultured enough....

This has one of my top ten ever guitar solos....I even like the way it ends, like it just disintegrates....
