thoughts on frank zappa

the thought for this thread started from a response that jeffloistarca gave & he is correct,most people think fz was a drug crazed nut & his music is for stoners,this was farthest from the truth,the thing fish is without a doubt a masterpiece,the line up of his band was always of the best of the best,it seems that frank has 2 different reputations,in the states he is a nut for the most part but in europe he is put beside the likes of motzart & bach,i find it odd that a man who could write a symphony on a whim could be classed with the likes of alice cooper,i just wanted to hear others thoughts on frank,by the way anybody checked out
ZAPPAS UNIVERSE on dvd,a must see for all zappa fans.

Not to even mention that Frank Zappa had his Phd in English Literature and would often speak in many of the most well respected California learning institutions.

Frank Zappa was in fact an EXTREMELY intellegent and talented individual.

We ALL suffered a major loss when we lost F.Z.

That's like saying he regularly "plooked" a tiny chrome plated machine that looked like a magical pig with marital aids stuck all over it.

Nothing like some nice, friendly, exchanges of admiration for an extremely accomplished musician. Or a shitting match.

Whatever.

I hate to mention this gentleman, but this is the kind of crap FZ would love to comment on.

With all do respect.
