In the process right now of overcoming of lifetime of unfounded prejudice toward Zappa. I always assumed he as an an unmusical goofus who was more of a provocateur than an artist. Wow, was I ever wrong. Better late than never though. The good news is that it looks like I have a lot of listening to do.
Despite Zappa who was underappreciated during his lifetime, he was one heckuva composer and was not afraid to voice his opinions to the public. There will never be another one like him.
