    Dweezil can play. I’ve seen videos of him ripping on the guitar. But I’ve noticed 2 things about him. He will not rip on his dad music. He will always let the guest guitarist shine. Respect!

    Dweezil's a hell of a guitar player in his own right, and I notice he's looking more like the old man the older he gets. All he needs is the 'stash. Thanks for keeping Frank's music alive and well!

      You're right, big stache, the Zappa Fly and he's Frank. I hadn't been paying that much attention, but it looks like he takes his musicianship as seriously as the old man too. Which is really saying something too.

      ..but are we surprised? Dweezil is INCREDIBLE but he's playing covers of his dead father's music. It's an extremely niche market. Frank's music was for an extremely niche market as well for that matter. ...so how would Dweezil ever become widely known and respected?
      If he were the guitarist in a very popular and more mainstream band, then everyone would know who he is - but that's not the path he chose. Music isn't about getting recognition or being an "all time great" anyway. That's what sports is for.
      Dweezil seems really happy and content with his life. Not everyone feels the need to be famous.

    The intellectually appealing intricate and complex structure of Zappa’s music layered over persistent driving primal rhythms, and punctuated with the cultural lampooning of his lyrics, create a compelling sensory library through which listeners can experience the essence of the American experiment. Frank Zappa was early to recognize the threats posed by the growing trend toward censorship and forced homogeneity that were evolving in our governmental policies and institutions. I credit him with opening my eyes early on to a healthy skepticism of presumed authority which I am thrilled to see now beginning to enlighten more and more of us.
