Frank Zappa was inducted into the RARHOF in 1995. Not just a popular anti-typical rocker and guitarist, but a genuinely powerful and monstrously talented 20th century composer! He took all the 20th century garbage music inundating us from media and elevators, and turned it into sonic gold!
December 5, 1993: My wife had just given birth to my daughter. We were in The Netherlands. At some point ~ later ~ It's a bit of a blur ~ I came in the restaurant of the hospital and I remember that I picked up a newspaper. There it was, on the front page: Frank Zappa died! Oh man... what a roller-coaster of emotions - my musical hero had left the planet and I was a dad! Both events were predictable and not unforeseen, of course. I was firm and strict and warned myself not to get too emotional and to be strong! My back straightened, my shoulders back; I was strong! I was a DAD! After 15 seconds... I folded like an accordeon and cried. Yeah, that was a weird day ;)
Frank Zappa had really the best musician or players of the whole world who plays for his music! And what a music! Today no one can compose Zappa music, it is so ahead for his time that neither the best jazz musicians has reached until today. And there is no one today in sinfonic classical music that can compose what Zappa used to compose... It is like when you hear Steve Vai, you can apreciate his playing, you can say he is good or not but the harmonies that Vai shows, are some harmonies that Joe Satriani has not even the capability to immagine, and I think no one else in the world, just Steve Vai because Steva Vai learned from Zappa directly! It is so sad when you hear something new and then Zappa dies and you never hear it again, if there is nothing new there is no surprise, that is so sad
i saw him at I.U. auditorium in bloomington. he was awesome. he was doing his panty quilt lmao one of my favorites and a technical master. i hope he is in paradise.
Didn't change his name like the likes of Tony Bennett...Didn't sell out to glam or corporate causes..Let other band members know what he thought of them..Derided falsity and vanity in his works..Always spoke calm, decent and rational in public..Named his chillun' Moon and Dweezil innovatively...His countless admirers can continue on with tributes to Franks' attributes 🎉 !!!

I saw this when it came out. Fun Fact- when Baby Snakes film came out in 1980 NYC ( we drove 70 miles to see it twice)- Frank Zappa was there serving people birthday cake( and it was December!) RIP frank Zappa and hello Moon Unit Dweezil and Rodan
I got to see Frank Zappa twice in concert when I was a young dude and have seen his son Dweezil twice in the last few years. Both were/are very entertaining artists. R.I.P. to daddy Frank, perhaps the biggest Mother of them all.

Probably, at the very least arguably, the only true, genuine musical genius of the twentieth century......... whose compositions commanded their very own genre; far removed from the pigeon-holed cultural norms; clever enough to borrow from all, yet create something solely his own. He himself, a masterpiece in his own lifetime; foolish enough to think he could create something that was never done before; a brutal taskmaster, who demanded laughter be a part of his beau produit.

"No commercial potential" was his goal ..
*I love this man, still!*
We're still dumb all over Frank. Thanks man
To be remembered is one thing.
I believe that it's more about what you are remembered for.
And in that regard Frank did one hellofa good job.🌟
