Hot Rats

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 ;-) .

I used to do a pretty good job with Dinah Moe Humm on Karaoke night

Zappa in NY gets the most time on my platter with Sheik Yerbouti next. Zappa always has been one of my favorite performers. 

Going off the deep end again, lumping Zappa and Trump together...
