| Why I Love Frank Zappa, And You Should too |
| 2021-02-11 |
| Thus guy's in my all-time top five musicians. For those of you care and give a rat's ass, they are in order - Rush, TOOL, Frank Zappa, AC/DC and Disturbed. I'm into the easy listening stuff... Consider when this clip was filmed - almost forty years ago. I have a client who met him around 1992 - 'the strangest person I've ever met' was his precise quote. Strange does not preclude prescient. |

| #7 Little-Green-Footballs used to have a Zappa quote of the day after Sept 11. I never liked Zappa's music but the quotes were impressive, funny and wise. Of course LGF went crazy at some point and I stopped being able to tolerate the blog so I have no idea if the quote of the day remains or not. |

| #2 Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 - December 4, 1993) been dead for nearly 28 years; I would suggest the author try living in the 21st Century, while he still is able to breath. 1/5th of the 21st Century has already expired into history, and before long the author will expire too. |

| #1 ...The dude was full-goose bozo, batsh*t insane. He was also one of the smartest guys to ever pick up a guitar. Good night, Frank, wherever you are. Mike |
