I was never really a Zappa fan, at least not musically. However, he was honest, innovative, uncompromising, intelligent, avant garde and pushed musical boundaries. The world is a better place with people like Frank Zappa in it.

Well you should try opening your ears & your mind. Zappa put out 62 lps between 1966 & 1993, his family released another 60+ lps after his death. He did many different styles of music. Frank Zappa was & will always be the only modern day musical genius

@@anthonycassillo5142 I didn’t say that I hadn’t heard any Zappa albums. I said I was not particularly a fan of his music. I believe that both my ears and my mind work well - but I appreciate your concern. The fact that he released so many albums means that he was prolific, nothing more. I’m glad that you’re a fan of his music. Enjoy.

Fascinating that Frank himself was very much straight edge when it came to drugs, yet advocated the rights of others to partake in them. Beyond all comedy and sardonics, definitely a man for individual freedoms.

@augustusbetucius2931 5 күн бұрын

Yes, but he's not the right leaning or Republican that people try to turn him into. As he said himself, he was "Fiscally conservative, socially liberal." He himself had tried cannabis, and said it wasn't for him, so he had an open mind, as well.

@@brianjacob8728 No, his friggin' multi-pack a day of Marlboros (or whatever he was incorporating into his body) is what did him in. Typical of a drug abuser, the late F.Z. couldn't come to grips that tobacco is a drug; he actually said that he considered it "food". Oh well, one man's sustenance is another man's poison. For Frank Zappa, it was both.

@@jeffreyslotnikoff4003 FZ didn't use drugs. Anyone who knows anything about FZ knows that. As for the cigs doing him in, slight chance tho one would think he would have succumbed to lung cancer, and not rectal cancer, in that case. ITMT, his doctors repeatedly failed to properly diagnose his his cancer even tho he repeatedly complained of symptoms typical of colo-rectal cancers. One has to wonder why that was.

@jeffreyslotnikoff4003 16 күн бұрын

@@brianjacob8728 You obviously didn't heed my words closely. Frank Zappa DID use one drug: tobacco. TOBACCO IS A DRUG... whether you or anyone thinks differently doesn't change anything. And while tobacco is usually linked with respiratory debacles; its effect on the human body holistically is not for the good. It's just possible that Mr. Zappa's doctors seeing how he was so determined to keep up his smoking addiction probably just threw their collective hands in the air.
