IMHO, Frank was unique. He managed to create musical ideas on so
many levels. Creative, very serious about his craft and demanded the
best from his band mates. It’s hard to like everything this icon of free
form progressive jazz played or wrote. But you cannot deny the genius
and intent of his life trace..Most people hearing his music for the first
time or observing one of his nightmarish album covers would think that,
man this guy must have been totally stoked on some elegant acid to have
written this music. But Frank Zappa, even though he lived in Cali in the 60’s
didnt use drugs ever especially when he was playing a gig in front of a live
audience..
