Yes, iON did: ionandbob.blogspot.com/2020/10/ion-and-bob-explain-finnegans-wake.html

Frank's saying "love is a mere thing". And when one is super-powerful in a creative sense, as Frank obviously was, "love" is something one takes for granted. That's what Frank means when he says "MUSIC is the best". "I've got the power." But one has to be careful who one associates with if one is living it. They may not understand. So one doesn't stay at the same motel as the rest of the team.

@@bobdobbs3178 Cant make head nor tail of that description.

@@Edward1312 My statement above is a collage of some of Frank's signposts of his ongoing explanation/composition (the BIG NOTE) of what Moon Zappa doesn't understand as spelled out in her memoir and recent interviews.

According to Napoleon Murphy Brock, Zappa declared every nite, as the band headed to the stage: "Take no prisoners!"

He makes the short list, at least.

Would speaking to "Frank" through a "medium/channeler" satisfy you?

@@bobdobbs3178 um I guess? I don’t really believe in that stuff, but sure i guess.

bobonzappa.com has been dedicated, from the beginning - 10 months ago - to erasing that meme - Zappa loses to Glass... sir. Welcome aboard - may the best asshole win!

@@bobdobbs3178 Yes, opinions like A-holes, everybody's got one. It's all good. No doubt Zappa is a better composer than Neil Young!

@@johnbarnas879 Zappa's on a whole other LEVEL that nobody has learned to talk about, yet. Here's an attempt to approach that LEVEL: ionandbob.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-skeleton-key-to-zappas-projectobject.html

Thanks!

The other use/meaning of the word "apostrophe": [[ As a literary device, "apostrophe" refers to a speech or address to a person who is not present or to a personified object, such as Yorick's skull in Hamlet... or Fido on APOSTROPHE. ]] So who or what is Moon addressing in her memoir?

Frank won't be banned if I'm in charge of translating Frank's work. I managed to sneak iON past the censors during the past 14 years, so Frank should be no problem... in spite of the effects of Moon's memoir.

Yup, it's all coming true... to the chagrin of many.

Thanks, Zarate.

Thanks - I appreciate your appreciation.

You're welcome!

Of course... I'm right here.

I agree!!

Word!

It's not a flippant question. The concept of the "satellite conductor" is one of the major keys to Frank's "conceptual continuity" - especially the "novelistic" or "story line" of the "Big Note", the "movie for your ears". To understand this point, one should study a statement Frank made to TIME MAgazine after he broke up the Mothers of Invention in August, 1969. Here it is: [[ ... Moon Unit. A self-thought composer whose idols are Stravinsky and Varèse, Zappa thinks that he would have been taken a lot more seriously if he had chosen a classical life. His current success, however, is the best proof possible of the cross-pollinating of movies, television and recordings now occurring in Hollywood. These days even the freakiest musicians can go independent, be their own managers, producers and A & R men - and make money. Working in the basement of his Laurel Canyon home, which he shares with his wife Gail, their daughter Moon Unit, and a baby son whom they call Dweezil. Zappa is editing his first film Burnt Weenie Sandwich, a documentary about the Mothers. His second, Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People, is ready for the camera. Neither one of them could possibly compare to the $4,800,000 flick he hopes to do next. Zappa is ready, willing, able and graphic in talking about that one if someone listens. "It opens in a concentration camp in the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where the Establishment has founded up all the hippies, the Mothers included, to re-educate them in the American verities, with lectures on things like the American hamburger. Whenever anyone falls asleep in class, he is killed by a huge torture machine which carves the name of his crime in his back. In the end, the Mothers and the other hippies are saved by Mothra, the giant moth of movie fame, and Godzilla, and Gorgo, and King Kong, and all the old monsters, and in the Armageddon it is discovered that the camp had been run by Colonel Sanders, who turned out to be nothing more than an electric doll in the glove compartment of a Volkswagen bus which was being used as a Chicken Delight truck.” ]] All of the components in the last scenes of "Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People" (1969 version), "Hunchentoot", and "Them Or Us" are imbedded in the plot above. All of his albums are paragraphs of this "story" he told TIME. The more one becomes familiar with the details of Frank's "creation", the more the statement above is understood as the outline of the "science-fiction" opera he was laying out for us for over 25 years, beginning with the first version of "Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People" in 1964. More to be said soon.
