    Proud to be a backer of this project. Glad to see our donations not only helped produce a quality film by somebody who actually cares, but more importantly, helped preserve the entire contents of his vault. Zappa's works needed to be properly digitized and archived for future generations to hear and appreciate.

      He said "politics is the entertainment branch of industry".
      He was not against governement, just against the activities that the governement was taking.
      He said something about politics beign about sales, and that governement was suposed to be about state, but the state was beign dominated by sales and the government by politics. Politics are bullshit on his words.

    • @thomaslinder6299
      @thomaslinder6299 3 роки тому +5

      When you think about it, how could it NOT be that? Everything a society does during peacetime ultimately serves the purpose of the security of the state, whatever it's called, art, entertainment, the economy, organized religion...its ALL in the service of maintaining social stability which, to the extent it *appears* to be working, serves that sense of security--in our case, of the military-industrial-congressional complex. The problem comes from not recognizing the link, and not being able to agree on the terms of 'success' of that apparent stability and the definition/meaning of the word 'security'. Frank, I think, perhaps without necessarily being conscious of it, tried to rise above these societal 'blind spots' and these convenient distinctions between politics and 'entertainment' that are forced upon us by our collective culture, to live his life as if they didn't exist. That is a demonstration of a kind of 'freedom' we should pay attention to. To us, who continue to make these distinctions, Zappa appears to be groundbreaking and genre-busting, involving himself in all of it, art, entertainment, the economy (being a business man), and yes, organized religion (as a critic). For me, Zappa is the embodiment of what American freedom, a very particular, individual-centric, yet communitarian, kind of 'freedom', *should* mean for post-industrial, democracy-respecting, Man.

      As someone with a degree in Music with a fair amount of study and analysis, I can predict Zappa will go down as among the greatest of the 20th century composers, right up there with Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Ives, Glass/Reich/Riley, and a few others that will be remembered down the centuries. We perceive the others as Very Serious Music compared to FZ, but that won't diminish the sheer quality and inventiveness of his oeuvre...much like we think of Mozart today, who also performed for the crowds using humorous references relevant to his time, but whom we also remember today as Very Serious Music.

    I had the pleasure of interviewing Frank for about 15 magical and terrifying minutes, in 1969, the same weekend as Woodstock. He told me that whenever and wherever he travelled, he brought with him a portable electric pencil sharpener, a box of HB pencils, and a pad of music paper. He was constantly either composing or devising arrangements, whether on the bus, or in the hotel room. That kind of work ethic leaves an impression on you.

    • @professorcensored3647
      @professorcensored3647 3 роки тому +7

      I suspect his brain was wired in a particular way, that actually gave him satisfaction (ie. dopamine) to be so immersed in music. It might not have felt like work to him, but more like following his own interests in music composition and performance. He capitalized on his strengths, found something he realised he had a passion for and that he wouldn't get tired of.

In 1966, she was working a temp job at Canada's National Film Board, and the Mothers came by to use the recording studio for something, while they were in town for a gig at the long-gone New Penelope club. One of her co-workers came back from the cafeteria and told her she just *had* to see these "freaks". She dashed over and and spied Frank in the black Persian lamb coat he was wearing at the time, that often appeared in pics of the band.

    People in the west cannot imagine the magnitude of adoration people in Eastern Europe have for Frank Zappa.

He and Lou Reed are considered very important people, not just artists, here in Hungary for that exact reason.

    When I was in college (back in '84), I wrote a paper on Zappa. Though only about 4 years older than most of my classmates, I was surprised and disappointed to find that about 3/4 of them had never heard of him (sheltered life, I guess). I turned my Jazz History teacher on to Zappa. He had only heard a few of his songs before.
    I consider him the most iconic composer of the 20th century. He embodied the American ideal of the rugged individualist, breaking new ground on the musical frontier.

    My true appreciation for music didn’t start until I was turned on to Sheik Yerbouti when I was 14 years old. Thanks to my older brother, the world of Zappa changed my life. He will go down in history as another musical genius like Beethoven, Mozart, Stravinsky, etc. He was that great. He pushed the envelope and redefined what music truly is. It’s more than just an art. It’s a way of being, it’s a way we find our place in the world, it’s mathematical. It’s so much more than notes being played. It’s the human experience. Frank’s encyclopedic knowledge of music and unending inspiration will always have the respect of our world’s greatest musicians for generations to come...

We were like 13 or 14 in the late 80's, playing guitar at their house, and they had the most insane record collection. I listened to everything there; all the Sabbath records, Genesis, Floyd, etc, but one record stuck out most of all Studio Tan, and one song.. "The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary" has been stuck in my head ever since then... Then I got into all of his records and kept playing guitar.

Anyone who's been there knows 5th row is like being on stage. There are no words to explain it. Went back the next year. It was phenomenal too. But nothing compares to your first Zappa show!

    I had the privilege of seeing Zappa live in New York in December of 1976 on his wedding anniversary. There was no warm up band. He was on stage less than 5 minutes after the stated start time for the concert. (Anyone around in the ‘70s should know how unusual that respect for an audience was.) When Don Pardo came out in a white tux with tails, a top hat and cane to introduce “The Illinois Enema Bandit” we just about lost our minds. Even while he and Terry Bozzio were kicking a stuffed poodle around on stage, the sheer musicianship was astounding.
    About 3 years earlier, I recited the lyrics to “I Am The Slime” in English class when required to read a poem. Several classmates crapped on me (maybe they watched too much TV) but Mrs. Collins stepped up and defended my choice of a “poem”. Good for her!
    The idea of a 2020 Zappa documentary fills me with dread. However, hearing bits of “Peaches en Regalia” sprinkled in this preview gives me hope.

All of these people were so nice in person. Dweezil Zappa has done such an amazing job keeping his fathers music alive, his father would be proud.

    My dad graduated high school with Frank Zappa. They were basically lumped together at the bottom of their graduating class. They were also friends. They didn't hang out or anything, but they did share a common bond in that they were poor and were considered outsiders by most. He invited my dad over a couple times to listen to records, but my dad was in an extremely religious family that viewed any music other than gospel as evil. Plus, my dad always had to work because his family had nothing. He said Frank would put on concerts for the school where they would smash furniture and his bandmates would all dress in hooded robes with candles and stuff...light years beyond what was happening in music back then (or even now). Turns out, my dad and Frank turned out to be the biggest successes out of their high school class (Antelope Valley). After my dad left high school though, he never saw Frank again.
