    When I was in high school, back in 1981 or '82, the local college's 'Campus Attractions' group had a 4-movie film festival in the old gymnasium building -- bring your own pillows, etc. They showed -- and I can't remember the order -- ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, A BOY AND HIS DOG, PINK FLOYD THE WALL and ANIMAL HOUSE (I think). In between, the C.A. guys played Zappa songs while they got the reel-to-reel film projector set up for the next movie, and it was the first time I'd actually heard Zappa. Oh, I had heard OF him, but the local radio stations never played his stuff, so I didn't have a clue. It was around the time that SHEIK YERBOUTI came out, and they played "Bobby Brown Goes Down" & "Jewish Princess" & "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" . . . and I was like: "What in the fuck is THIS??? And where has it been all my life!" The next day I went to MOTHER'S RECORDS -- an aptly-named music store! -- and bought 4 or 5 Zappa albums, including SHEIK YERBOUTI and JOE'S GARAGE Act 1. I'm so damn glad I went to that all-nighter event -- from 5:00 PM to around 4 in the morning or so -- and discovered his music when I did. Zappa's an acquired taste, and I'm lucky my musical palette was able to develop a taste for his stuff.

      @@pythongalactique4001 A valid point given he was talking about drugs and I applaud that but Frank Zappa was not an example of a person connected with reality - he never went to the cinema, never went to the theatre, never socialised except on rare occasions when abroad, only in later life did he watch TV, rarely read a newspaper or listened to the radio, never went anywhere as a family. .

    • @pythongalactique4001
      @pythongalactique4001 4 роки тому +5

      @@paulinebutcherbird Ironic to blame Zappa for running away from reality and to blame him for never having been to the theater or the cinema where fiction reigns supreme. And what about the people of the Middle Ages? They weren't going to the movies, was there no reality? Complying with the social norm that makes cinema an obligation, is it being in reality or being a puppet if you don't want to go? And the one who doesn't have sex every week? And the one who doesn't like chocolate? And the one who doesn't have a driving license? Are these people out of reality?
      Just because Zappa wasn't doing what you are doing doesn't mean he wasn't in reality: he was also doing things that you might not be doing. For example, get involved in Czech politics. Or go and debate in the US Senate. Can we then say that he was out of reality?
      In addition, there is once again a difference between playing the guitar, not going to the movies, not going on family vacation ... and taking drugs! Otherwise I too am out of reality because I don't really like crowds in the street and I prefer to go and play the drums in my basement. And are all those who have a passion and who devote several hours a week to it outside of reality? Zappa, like me and others, was aware of what he was doing, how much time went by, paid his taxes, went to vote, etc. Someone who takes drugs is no longer in control of himself.
      As you speak of cinema, can we really say, by comparison, that the characters of "Requiem for a Dream" (a film on drugs) and those of "Yesterday" (a film about the Beatles) are in the same situation? ?
      When you say that some of these comments are biased, like those on education (I think the system is far from perfect but not debilitating), I agree with you. But blaming this man for being out of touch with reality, I don't agree because he knew her much better than some of the other guys.
      Sincerly yours.

I agree this is quite different from taking drugs and losing touch with reality. You win.

    The last one, the criticism of schools, I strongly disagree with. Maybe American schools are not the best, but somehow USA has produced nearly 400 Nobel Prize winners, more than any other country in the world, the nearest is UK with a proportion to population higher number, but let's not go into that because St Lucia has the highest number per capita!

      The fact that you're trying to use this as an argument for why the education system in America isn't garbage illustrates his point perfectly. You also think there aren't any poor people in America because Jeff Bezos exists, I assume?

      @@EmptyGlass99 Two of Frank's children would have benefited from a university education, in my humble opinion. I agree, Moon has revealed a wonderfully creative talent as a writer with her book, 'America the Beautiful' but I think she would be writing fantastic journalistic pieces for top newspapers and journals had she gone to university. Ahmet, too, I think, would have benefited, learning about economics and business. But Frank made sure that they did not go anywhere near a university because he had such a poor view of them. I think that was narrow minded of him.

      I think he was referring to elementary and high schools. Those have set curriculums that churn out kids who are “dumb all over.” Once you’re in college and graduate school, you have more autonomy

    He was incredibly wrong about religion: lack of a true belief in God was and is the big problem with most religious institutions and individuals, not the existence of religion itself. But he couldn't be right about everything.

      Religion is an escape from reality. Selling 'faith' (the belief in something without any evidence whatsoever) as a virtue was the church's greatest success. Nobody with an ounce of critical thinking skill can take that seriously.
