I would agree FZ certainly enjoyed listening to himself talk. I'll give you that.

but to say you find the music "unlistenable", that sounds like maybe it goes over
your head, or maybe you can't approach it's "statistical density". I've met quite
a few musicians who don't care for his music, but they ALL can't help but respect
the Hell out of it. Jazz and Classical music tend to be unlistenable to some people
too, and be considered "out there". to each his or her own, or so the story goes.

I hope this is just a Zappaesque joke. If not, I'll find out where you live!!

He'll be highly regarded, respected and even venerated, long after the last reality t.v. 'idol' has been laid to rest.

Personally I think this would be the case if all he'd ever written/recorded was "Can't Afford No Shoes"

Frank Zappa was smart, no doubt about it. A certain quote is attributed to him:

"The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced."

I often think about the same thing. the trump administration could provide at
least a double albums' worth of material! Hillary wouldn't be spared either, imo.
something like his homage to Richard M Nixon; "Dickie's Such an Asshole".
