Hot Rats

Hey pryso

Edgard appreciated the noise Frank's bicycle made. 🤣

@bdp24 - respectfully disagree, but only about Zappa.... 

'Grand Wazoo'! I dont know why I couldn't remember that name, but that's actually my fave FZ instrumental album, more than 'Waka Jawaka' or 'Hot Rats', both of which are also wonderful. 

"...down in Joes' Garage...."

I would much rather listen to Frank playing than The Chump braying....imho....

@pfeiffer and @baylinor : I can’t fault ya’ll for taking the conflating of Zappa and Trump in the wrong sense (though I can for not at least suspecting the attempt at humour ;-). I was speaking only of their propensity for thinking very highly of themselves, and endeavoring to persuade you of the validity of that opinion.

In all other ways they are complete opposites. Trump couldn’t even begin to understand Zappa, while Frank understood Donald all too well. Zappa had a big brain and talented hands, Trump a lizard brain and small hands ;-) .

@mahler123: It was not I who compared Popular Musicians with Classical Composers, but rather Pat Metheny. In my opinion both have to be judged as farmers in their own fields, not at all the same crops. Sorry for the silly metaphors ;-) .

I love, love, love J.S. Bach, but when I’m in the mood for Rock ’n’ Roll I put on a Dave Edmunds album. When I want to have a spiritual experience, I put on Bach’s Concerto For Four Harpsichords And Orchestra. Two completely different activities and experiences.

Both are called music, but they are as different as they are alike.
