On the occasion of what would have been Frank Zappa's 74th birthday(!)tomorrow, here's some bon mots from one of the smartest guys in the room in any era. It's funny/sad how some of his comments are more pertinent today than ever... http://frankzapppa.blogspot.com/2014/02/frank-zappa-quotes.html
Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes... But as good as the quips are, listening to the music is even better! Alas, there's really never been anyone to take up even a bit of his space. Now, if only the ZFT could get around to releasing that FZ-facillitated recording of Varèse with the Ensemble Modern et al! Gail, I'm still waiting!
Here's another thing to not believe: Gail Zappa dies at 70; widow of iconoclastic musician was advocate for artists's; rights - LA Times Just thought I'd resurrect this for that. And just in case anyone is feeling fussy: On reviving Zombie Threads. | TalkBass.com
LOL, so Sissy Kathy followed that link, found my post in there about it being too bad TB didn't have reminders, or I'd set a reminder to revive the thread, which she liked, which informed me, which caused me to read my previous post, which in turn caused me to do a little Voodoo and zombie up the thread. Maybe a little earlier than the year in my original post, but one doesn't look serendipity in the mouth like it's some old nag... Apparently I have you good sir to thank for reminding me, if in a roundabout fashion, that I wanted to Voodoo that thread, so thanunk-you greatly!
