    She was so poised and mature and sophisticated for a 14yr old! I laugh so much at that song! I really like her and Frank Zappa their whole family is awesome. She’s super witty and hilarious

    Moon recently filmed an interview in which she reflects on the 40th anniversary of "Valley Girl." She has some interesting observations regarding her father and that era. Search for it on UA-cam.

      @@charlesnicholson7539 It's not really an idea. More of an inclination. You're either cynical about something or your not. It's not like picking out an outfit. The point he's making is that if you're not cynical, you're not paying attention.

      @@somersetcace1 I get his point. All I’m saying is that cynicism is a voluntary perspective that doesn’t lead to a good mindset or outlook on life.

    • @somersetcace1
      @somersetcace1 Рік тому

      @@charlesnicholson7539 I'd agree with that to a point. You can certainly change your mindset/out look on life so that you're not cynical (or as cynical,) but cynicism itself is more a reaction than a choice. It's not like we look at situations and think "Well, I could be cynical about that, but nah, I'll be positive about it instead." It doesn't quite work that way. Still, you can train yourself to not be cynical. I'd concede that.

    with all of the music Zappa put out it's surprising that, in retrospect, "Valley Girl" is his most accomplished piece. Val's didn't sound like anyone I'd ever heard at the time of its release but now the vernacular is peppered into the language.

    Frank was ahead of his time. He would be such a geek today with all of the amazing software available. I can only wonder what he would have created. Frank was a hardcore Democrat back then just like I was. But I guarantee he would have abandoned the party just like I did in the past few years when they went insane.

    I think he should have done more commercial music to get the success he deserved. He could have easily done a twin track approach and had hits with other ideas. He had the musicians to help create any hit records. Sometimes it's better to deal with the devil 🤘😈 and enjoy the success that it can bring.
