FROG SQUATS: Best Exercise for Thighs and Butt

Haha, and "white stuff". :D

I'm going to say it again: White stuff!

SO SO SO SO F**kING TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, we miss you Frank.What a great guy!Every interview with Frank Zappa you see nothing but intelligence coming from him! He's absolutely right! That's the exact reason why we have a GARBIGE(I can't even call it a music!) being played on a radio, and that's why majority of people have a shitty taste, or no taste at all in general.What happened to the old days!?

Or your snatch...

Any show that tries to push the limits has to keep a careful watch on itself.

I'm just happy Frank got any chance to speak at all.

I agree the 80's stuff can be pretty dull as the weight of "conceptual continuity" bared down. Bobby Brown IS a load of S**t , lyrically and musically, no matter how brilliant his other work was and is.

So basically I agree with you. We're Only In It For The Money through Weasels Ripped My Flesh was his best period. But he defended lots of people other than himself and his band mates. Being a cranky old misogynist doesn't completely invalidate his good points. Just the stupid ones.

Zappa hire-fire politics are not really my issue.

More importantly I find Zappa's rock music from about 1980 on increasingly bland, not to talk about the lyrics. Zappa's said he used rock to fund his "serious" stuff, which I find not convincing at all. First, it is possible to be a composer without that (maybe not on a rockstar salary), and second it is possible to make good rock music. Songs like Bobby Brown don't really shock me, they just reveal the reactionary he finnaly turned into.

Following up...

I don't believe Zappa had any particular responsibility to his former band members, no matter what hard, early years they shared.

For one, he never sold enough records to afford to keep a band on the payroll between tours.

And, for another, there are few items one can put on a rock music resume more impressive than "former Zappa player" - something that indicates you can play rings around anyone else.

Most ex-Zappa players are still making a living playing Zappa music.

True his musical interests fell into technical matters, I cannot see how this invalidates his commentary on the industry.

The men he defended in his political life often had very different musical ideas than his own. It never bothered Zappa that there were other great bands, in the video he defends "punkers" the opposite of overarranged mainstrema rock.

He's arguing for more creativity in the industry, not assigning himself any special importance in it (though he did do that too).

Nope, just an Ignostic. I suggest you check up on it.

Jontish316 = Asshole

We need more like him, especially in these times!!

I disagree. Zappa was a serious composer who worked with rock musicians rather than classical musicians for one reason - they were cheaper. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to get his serious works performed, and all the orchestras seemed to care about was overtime and tea breaks. Only later was he taken seriously enough that orchestras wanted to perform his work rather than look at him as a mark to be fleeced. By favorite of his works is The Yellow Shark and G-Spot Tornado.

errrr...

That was the Joke!!!!!!!

masturbation, there you go I said it

Come on, you're British, you can say MASTURBATION on youtube, don't be scared!

Too bad there is no god. However, if you can find an adequate definition of "god" (no flying spaghetti monsters in the air) i guess you'd be fine.
Great musician btw.

I totally second Tomby Stone, and I don't think that Zappa is any credible in speaking for "experiments in music". He did some awesome stuff in his early career, but once he "had made it" he fired all of the musicians who went with him through all those hard early years, only to do some (admittedly well done) overarranged virtuoso mainstrema rock with dull obscene lyrics for the rest of his life. OK, difficult to play, but there are/were lots of more interesting acts in rock.

zappa is d king of word

Goodness me, the americans are scared of the word M***********N, how gutless

Frank Zappa is speaking a lot of common sense here.

every word of it is all true.

god bless frank

I used to be crazy about Zappa when I was about 17 but now I just can't stand the majority of his music and I'm not even sure why. I still love some of it, Uncle meat, we're only in it for the money and Lumpy gravy are all good but some of his later stuff especially just makes me cringe. I can never get over how good of a speaker he is though, he's one of the only musicians I'd have paid to hear a spoken word album by.

Un Saludo!!!

lol love how it ends.

One point that Frank didn't mention is that when he was signed, there were literally hundreds of record companies. Now there are 3, maybe 4, huge conglomerates. Back then you had some options.

Goddamn. I meant to say "and had classes with.." (It is my day off, F**k it.) And the Sony BMG executive can't stop his own son from downloading music. The reign of the dinosaurs is over.

I teach English in Spain, and has classes with the executive of Sony BMG Spain, and he fits Frank's description perfectly. Worships Dylan and the 60s, blames the Downloading generation for killing off music, but reluctantly admits responsibility for the Backstreet Boys and Ricky Martins and Britney Spears.
