Hot Rats

👍👍

Lucky to have seen him three times in concert.  Was listening to Brunt Weeny Sandwich just a couple weeks back.  One of my all time favorites of his.  Too many great works to pick just one.  

His levelheaded, televised evisceration of Tipper’s PMRC inanity was a wonder to behold.

I don’t think he would have minded what we thought of him as long as it was honest.….

i finally couldn’t stand it and bought the Complete Hot Rats Sessions box….it IS occasionally excessive…but so was he….and I seriously doubt we’d be hearing it if he was still alive. RIP

Zappa was a genius, a serious atheist (I loved his biography), a great guitar player, a sexist creep, and for my tastes his music is essentially unlistenable pretentious nonsense. 

Oops. What Metheny actually said is "Compared to Bach, we all suck." Zappa lacked even a trace of Metheny’s humility. But I feel for Zappa; loud bravado is often an outward sign of deep insecurity. Just look at Trump ;-) .
