Day Seventeen: Zappadan

One of the last interviews.
I love this man more than I could ever describe. He was my role model when I needed one the most - at age 16.
Zappa exercised his genius for 25 years with not a single misgiving about all the shit he took from his plentiful critics, while at the same time leaving behind a body of musical work that would rival Debussy in scope, and would demote Philip Glass to the role of Court Dooofus.

The Zappa legacy lies, however, in his common sense but conservative snarky cynicism, rooted in a profound distrust of stupid adults. Frank Zappa hated ignorant, phony people and the entire focus of his work expresses that sentiment.

It's nearly impossible to like all of his stuff. No matter. Zappa will influence American Rock Music for generations to come.
