Mr. Frank Zappa was a Genius!! He wasn't my Absolute Favorite Musician. But he was ONE of them!! A wiser man than I, once said, "Above all, give me Truth"!! Frank Zappa gave us Truth & Wonderful Music, too.
I can understand someone disliking Zappa's Music . But, as a Musician for 50+ years, I can recognize the combination of Genius & Talent. In his later years, Our Frank composed & recorded Joe's Garage & THINGFISH!! Both Classics, just Dripping & Oozing with Harmonic Talent!! @@SeptemberChild1835

Mmm yes. “Why does it hurt when I pee?” classic line - such an insight into the mores of modern society and the intricacies of the human condition. Up with there with the great philosophers of our time.
I always liked Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Even more so when he appeared before the PMRC Senate hearing as did Dee Snyder and John Denver to basically and very respectfully tell the PRMC how effed up they were. "It's unclear which popular musicians were invited, but the only ones to show up and tell the government this was none of their business were Zappa, Snider, and Denver." - Business Insider. They made a big mistake. Zappa and Snyder mopped the floor with them. Sure the PRMC got the warning labels they wanted, only to have that backfire as fans saw the "warning" label as incentive to purchase material the suits said were dirty. The artists didn't mind at all, all the way to the bank.
While I enjoyed this film, clearly Alex Winter's: Zappa [2020] is, now, the "be all-end all," top-of-the-heap as far as Zappa documentaries go (and most affecting, effective & affectionate! in its insight, understanding and ability to educate and illuminate (on the subject!)!).
I heard he was a really great guitar player . Alice Cooper told a story on his now gone radio show about how Frank had some guitar playing competition against some fan at a concert of his and Frank easily beat this nobody .
I believe that you might be mistaking popularity for quality. Taste in music is subjective, of course- but genius does seem to me to have a certain undefinable sound. Listen to some Frank Zappa, and I don't mean on your phone.
@@TheDissident77 I didn't suggest or give you info. But to indulge you, Listen to some of his guitar solos. IE: Montana. 50/50. Pojama People. He was an amazing guitarist.
She frames it interestingly. No one is ever fully honest, though. Nobody wants that. The truth is that he was bipolar, a total douchebag, and his _drive_ was his need for approval and affirmation from people he did not respect, and whom he loathed. He loathed himself, too, for needing it. But all of that comes with being someone who produces content for approval and affirmation. If they were healthy, sane, contented people, they wouldn't have the drive to do anything. Lol, if everyone became a well-adjusted, self-contained human being overnight, the economy would crumble. He had so many artistic high-water marks and we can thank a discipline that doesn't always come paired with that hellish need, but when it does and there's some kind of craft, we get good stuff. But he was still a douchebag and you wouldn't want to spend too much time around him, in reality. I don't believe in heroes or hero worship. Give up sentimentality and join the competent. There's plenty of stuff left to love, including Zappa's music. You don't have to stop appreciating the music just because you recognize he was an ass.
Kind of a mean assesment. No one is perfect, bro, but II think you are way too harsh. I like stuff with rough edges, BUT you, sir are a douchbag yer own sef.
Good post. Generally good advice not to get to know your musical heroes . It seems one of the by-products of having such a creative gene and the drive to reach perfection almost always makes them insufferable arseholes.
She’s got that same vibe you get with all these neglected children of celebrity egomaniacs. All a bit fake laughter and gushing over their parent that basically chose their career over them and kind of abandoned them, and can’t escape being defined by that parent and never really recognised as people in their own right. Sad really.
Frank Zappa was an original real person, id take a back seat to that . my dad is just a doctor. Watching someone follow their heart imagination and dreams is what a parent should be.
@@MultiBmorgan My partner's ex-husband followed his heart, imagination and dreams, and he totally abandoned her and their children, leaving her to basically bring them up with no support whatsoever, emotional or financial, while he galivanted around the world doing what he liked.

Great musician and I'm so amazed how well his kids turned out. That's not often the case with such unique personalities/geniuses.
There’s been some ugliness between Moon and Dweezil on one side and the two younger ones, mostly caused by how Gail set up the Trust.
Isn't Moon an absolute gem.
She was the original Valley Girl
Yes, it was her voice, isn’t it?
Moon, beautiful.
Moon Zappa. What a beautiful person, in every way. You can just tell.
