I was a fan and friend of the late Frank Zappa. I always enjoyed, and still enjoy listening to his music. But I could never figure out why so many people put Frank down. Music is the best

Zappa was a brilliant man, and brilliant men are often misunderstood. For proof of his brilliance, one must look no further than the fact that he wrote a full symphony while still in his teens. Also, I consider him to be one of the most underrated guitarists in the history of rock music. He also had a unique sense of humor (ex. "Who Needs The Peace Corps.)
In short, he was a towering yet often overlooked figure in popular music, and he will be missed.

Zappa was a genius. Is it possible that the misunderstanding was self directed? His compositions were real with no intent to exploit commercialism. This is just another reason why his devout fans are so committed.

I on no account particularly left. I moved to a city 50 miles south for six months whilst i grow to be 20 moved lower back whilst i grow to be 21, different than that I stayed interior an identical city I grew up in, offered a residence whilst i grow to be 25 and then offered a often happening homestead whilst i grow to be 29 and have lived right here ever when you consider that (38 now). I parent each city or city has its advantages and downsides so why no longer purely stick around, less difficult than shifting, additionally it grow to be continuously a huge objective for me to be a components proprietor, so as that made me much less cellular even from an early age as i began out to maintain up for the down-cost on the residence whilst i grow to be 23. I do omit some issues that are no longer any further obtainable. whilst i grow to be a toddler, there grow to be this airborne dirt and dust music on the outskirts of a park that grow to be made by way of community youngsters with jumps and table tops, purely a small around music, yet i could experience around it on my bicycle specially circumstances as a toddler, and then whilst i grow to be 15 i will bear in mind taking my moped around it now and lower back. They outfitted residences next to the park and destroyed the music. We used to have a Dino's Gyros on the city approximately 10 years lower back which failed to make it as a company. I omit being approximately to get a greek Philly or a chicken Gyro with feta on it, no place on the city does Gyros now, different than one however the Gyros there are not all that reliable.

I liked Frank....even saw him in concert once. I think he LIKED being misunderstood, and messing with the media's mind! I don't think he cared what anyone else thought about him. He was a great musician, songwriter, producer, arranger, showman, and was very humorous. HIs is missed.

He was not misunderstood. every body different as Frank can expect to have a limited audience. I do not care for Celine Dion. That does not mean she is untalented.

Hello fellow fan! I think his music is great! Misunderstood? who could possibly misunderstand lyrics like ''ram it up your poopshoot''? or ''let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her''?
