Alas I sorta doubt that even Zappa musick will likely phase the Teabagger-bots or biblethumpers, or the democrat-unionist plebes for that matter (tho FZ and Gail were Demos and generally opposed GOP bootlickers). <br /><br />I didn't know FZ was an ahhtist as well (his one time crony Beefheart is as well---DVV now near death I hear). Zappa product's still big in Europa as well. I trade some LPs on e-bay at times and poles or germans buy zappa stuff right up--Uncle Meat might sell for $10 in US, but $50 in Hamburg.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-53116954761497125202010-12-12T13:38:23.406-08:002010-12-12T13:38:23.406-08:00Frank (also) did some neat water-colors

A few? Non! Une ...<i>to name but a few major figures</i><br /><br />A few? Non! Une boo-coo!<br /><br />speaking re french impressionist musick, a Zappa thing is going online presently Sir F. Probably a bit raw or vull-garr for you and the CR posse, but in ways, Zappa, at least when attempting serious music was a child of Debussy & co, was he not, as were the best jazzers. In ways, tonal musick ended with Deb.--<br /><br />Boulez conducted some of FZ's musick; Boulez a pretty Un gran Chat, eh. I don't always enjoy it but interesting, even "postmodernist" in a sense, and superior to the usual Ellay product, whether musick, movie, or valley porn.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.com
