Um, nnnnnnnooooooooo,

Zappa's contributions to that dialogue make perfect sense. Lonestar whoever provided the only trace of ignorance.

This is kind of a lame thread. Why on Earth would you judge Zappa's intelligence (way too broad a subject to begin with) based on his brief stint in the political limelight, rather than on his 30+ years of rock n'roll innovation?

Frank Zappa was a brilliant guitar player and did not get the recognition he deserved for that talent.

His outrageous lyrics somewhat muted the guitar and caused it to lose potency in the process.

This was my way of recognizing him on the political forum. Had I talked about his music the thread would have been off-topic.

Or you could have posted it in the music thread.

I thought the thread was going to be about how Frank stood you up on his plans to fly you to his sweet condo and have the sex with you, after chatting online.

This is the only pertinent and cogent response to this thread.

Sorry, not into necrophilia. I mean, I have to not be into something right? Actually, I was the real life inspiration for Suzy Creamcheese. Bob Dylan wrote "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" about me and I invented this thing they now call the internets.

There was a woman who attended graduate school in English at Wayne State University at the same time I did (1969-75). That was just after the time that Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell lived in Detroit and while the guy with the blackened eye make up who goes shirtless still did and just as Bob Seeger was making a national name for himself (used to play at college dances but the price would go up from 50 cents to $1.50!).

Anyway, she supposedly had sex with Dylan while her husband slept in the next room. Everyone like Dylan a little less for having the lack of discretion to sleep with this girl, who was an early singer-songwriter. I think one of her songs was recorded by Brazil 66. She was known as "detroit's celebrity f^(k."

Zappa was a brilliant satirist. There I was, full of myself as a budding, long-haired college guy. Then I'd listen to Zappa make fun of the whole enterprise. Made me question what I was just starting to believe in!

Got introduced to Zappa's music in mid-seventies. It was a strange time in my life, during which I got exposed to a lot of things that were way out of my comfort zone at the time. But I knew even then that Zappa was something special, and I still know the words to several of his songs by heart - "Po-jama People" comes to mind. I played his "One Size Fits All" album to pieces.
