I know him and he's sound.Let's never speak of him again
Zappa was genius, a generational talent, a trailblazer and a relentless workaholic. Like a lot of records of his, i'll take a few tracks off this and move on. Zappa definitley needed an editor but also would have fired one. the workflow he had over the course of a year basically things had to be released.
I understand that some of you need your pop stars to be nice guys - i mean bros were fucking lovely guys right? Some musicians are, some musicians aren't - as long as they aren't running a pedo ring i dont think it's that relevant, and at large find the personality cults in pop a huge distraction from the music. fact of the matter is a huge percentage of pop writers use some pretty little starlet to front the music so they don't have to have a personality - with zappa its always the human laid bare - and at large people are taking maybe two hours of video footage and deciding he's mean rather than, i dunno, working a tour with him or making a record with him. Sure he was relentless, was he nice or not? I don't give a fuck.
I appreciate his genius and musicianship and insane work ethic, he clearly despised pop music and anyone stupid enough to get anything from it though. Which, you know, fine, I think drone and noise music is a fucking scam but people love it so whatever. I hope this album therefore is him doing music he likes rather than him doing music he hates.Zappa was genius, a generational talent, a trailblazer and a relentless workaholic.

Isn't there a massive cult of personality around Zappa himself?as long as they aren't running a pedo ring i dont think it's that relevant, and at large find the personality cults in pop a huge distraction from the music
A; only if you want there to be one.Isn't there a massive cult of personality around Zappa himself?
I like a good bit of his music, mostly for its wild originality, but I'd say I would have hated being in his band
edit: he had nothing to say lyrically at all though really, apart from "everything is stupiiiiiid"
What? Either there is or there isn't, surely. Or is this a reference to "you'll be absolutely free, only if you wa-ant to be"?A; only if you want there to be one.

As for B - much as I like (some of) the guy's music, for me that wouldn't make up for being bossed around by an egomaniac workaholic
