Frank Zappa: "A mind is like a parachute.
It does not work when it is not open.

I watched Head last night for the first time as an adult. I thought it clever and amusing - - the Monkees question their television existence and impact on culture. In this scene Frank Zappa is playing "The Critic," and tells Davy Jones "You should spend more time on your music, because the youth of America depend on you to show the way."
“Interviewer: 'So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?'
Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?”
Quote: Frank Zappa
Seattle's over-water hotel built in 1962 for the World's Fair. Many famous and infamous musicians have stayed there over the years.
“I'm vile and perverted.
I'm obsessed and deranged.
I've existed for years but very little has changed.
I'm the tool of the government and industry too.
For I'm destined to rule and regulate you.
You may think I'm pernicious, but you can't look away.
I'll make you think I'm delicious with the stuff that I say.
I'm the best you can get... have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out of your TV set....”
― Frank Zappa

We’re Here! -- singing today.
Ok, I promise, this is the last one of the Red Square. (Russia, Moscow, guess where, July 2006)
PS: I like Deep Purple, but as far as I know, Frank Zappa never played in the Kremlin...
Please leave an honest comment re my photography, I am open to any criticism, thank you.
Please no group advertisements.
Another oldie. Detail. FZ was alive when I did this, many moons ago.
Pop, as in Monterey Pop, as opposed to the "king of pop".
The aficionados will have understood.
From www.seeing-stars.com/ :
"Frank Zappa's (1940-1993) grave is also unmarked. It's grave #100, located about eight yards to the west of Roy Orbison's grave, near a large tree. Frank's unmarked grave is right next to (just to the right of) the marked grave of actor Lew Ayres. Always an outlandish individualist, Frank Zappa (and his Mothers of Invention) turned out over 60 unique albums before succumbing to prostate cancer at the age of 53."

Renovations on the historic Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory on Belle Isle began on November 14, 2022 and are expected to keep the building closed to the public until May of 2024.
The Conservatory originally opened in 1904 and was designed by architect Albert Kahn
Carrément pas mon disque préféré de Zappa.
Pourtant, au-delà de ses retrouvailles avec ce fêlé de Don Van Vliet / Captain Beefheart, Zappa était avec le meilleur de ses Mothers : George Duke, Terry Bozzio et Chester Thompson, Tom et Bruce Fowler, Napoleon Murphy Brock, le même line-up qui fera l'excellent 'in New-York', magnifiquement réédité en 2018 récemment et sur lequel je m'étais précipité.
Là, contrairement à 'in New-york' qui est l'un des meilleurs live de Zappa avec Roxy & elswhere pour lequel j'avais également craqué (mais en coffret CD), et un des meilleurs live tout court, 'Bongo Fury' est tout simplement pas très bon et mêem un peu chiant.
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que au moins c'est un album simple (1 seul 33t) alors que les lives de Zappa sont généralement des doubles et, généralement aussi très largement over-dubbés. Mais pourquoi pas, je ne me lasse pas des 'Black Page drum solo', 'Purple Lagoon' et autres 'Yo'Mama' complètement transformés et enrichis de solos réenregistrés en studio.
L'autre bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'il y a UN morceau qui a lui seul valait le re-achat (car je l'avais déjà en cd) de cette réédition HiRes (24bit/192khz) : Muffin Man ♫♪♫♪♫♪ .... 🎸 et son solo de guitare me laissent toujours su'l'cul. Un peu comme le 'Rock'n'roll' de Steve Wagner (je n'ose dire 'de Lou Reed tellement il est pas là) qui clôture 'Rock'n'Roll Animal', mais dans un tout autre genre.
Bref (!), Muffin Man ♫♪♫♪♫♪ .... 🎸 est non seulement l'occasion d'un solo d'anthologie de FZ, mais c'est un solo d'anthologie tout court. Au-delà de la vélocité de FZ (sur laquelle s'extasiait Phil Manzanerra, pourtant pas un manchot), il y une intensité, une tension, qui en font un morceau à part, inexplicable. Et en complet déclalage avec les blaguounettes de potache des paroles et qui méritent qu'on n'essaie même pas de les traduire. Comme souvent chez Zappa, il est moins drôle qu'il ne croit mais heureusement, il est l'excellent musicien qu'il pense être.

I prefer Frank's instrumental landscapes and don't listen to him any other way.
