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. |

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." |

Ironically I was wondering when I made my last post earlier today, what he would have made of the current political clime, had he lived so long.
