Including “sniffing the reeking buns of Angel, and acting like it’s cocaine”

Again, he was overrated. You can’t accept it or not. It doesn’t matter which you choose. It effects essentially nothing. I posted the truth. You posted your opinion. It really doesn’t matter which you believe.

And I’ll post where I want and about what I want. As long as I have no violated any board rules, there’s no problem. And there is no problem. Okay, precious snowflake?

No he wasn’t overrated. It’s funny you insist everybody that likes him is just spouting opinion but YOU get to present fact. Out here in reality YOU’RE the one spouting opinion. There’s enough people with real actual musical chops who respect Zappa that his talent is an established FACT (unless you think Jean Luc Ponty, Chick Correa, David Bowie, John R. Bourgeois etc etc etc etc etc are all ALSO overrated. Which would really just prove my point).

You can post what you want. But it just shows you’re the precious snowflake. Go ahead. Keep reminding everyone why you suck.

One of my favorites. I’ve been listening to Zappa for the last four hours on my walk home since you guys and gals got me all Mr. America’d up again.

He was overrated, precious snowflake. I hope you stop crying soon. Really, I do.

He wasn’t. You’re the one crying. And you’re the snowflake.

He was overrated, precious snowflake. You don’t have to agree. It won’t change whether you do or do not agree.

Repeating your dumb statements doesn’t make them smart. You don’t have to agree. But I recommend you take it up with Ponty, Gambale, and Correa. They could all probably use the laugh.

The facts are in. Your opinion isn’t even horse manure, horse manure is actually useful.

have the last word. I’m sure it’ll be the same as all your other posts, but you seem to really think it matters. We all know you’re an idiot, go ahead and prove it again.

“Can’t we all just get along?”

I suppose 30 years from now, those adults will be debating on
“Would Nikki Minaj have become as famous and influential (with young girls anyway) if her backside had been normal sized, vs Kardashian-sized?”
Some folks my age will still be saying “Yoko ruined everything!!!”

“Repeating your dumb statements doesn’t make them smart.”

In that vein, right back at you.

“You don’t have to agree.”

I sure don’t. And you don’t either, precious snowflake.

“But I recommend you take it up with Ponty, Gambale, and Correa. They could all probably use the laugh.”

I recommend you take it up with Moszkowski, Finzi, or Ó Riada. They could all probably use the laugh.

“The facts are in. Your opinion isn’t even horse manure, horse manure is actually useful.”

The facts are in. Your opinion isn’t even as worthwhile as Zappa’s music - and that’s saying something. His music is useful - as “enhanced interrogation” music at Gitmo.

“have the last word.”

Thanks.

“I’m sure it’ll be the same as all your other posts, but you seem to really think it matters.”

The truth matters. Your opinion won’t.

“We all know you’re an idiot, go ahead and prove it again.”

Gee, I really struck a nerve on the precious snowflake. I hope you man up in the future, kid.

Hey go to youtube and listen to Weird Al Yankovic’s Zappa parody, “ Genius In France”. It is excellent. That’s Dweezil playing the guitar for him.

Great Googley Moogley!

The author of this is a fool. Frank Zappa was an acquired taste so I understand why some didn’t like him, but he was an amazing guitarist and made some really great music.

Think I’ll listen to Muffin Man before I go to bed.
