I’ve been a Zappa fan since hearing Bongo Fury in my dad’s truck when I was a kid. I definitely love his versatility and musical genius, and the way he pushed musical and social boundaries. At the same time, it seems like he was the proto edge lord par excellence, creating some pretty reactionary art and displaying some shitty shitty opinions on women and historically oppressed folks. Damn, now I realized I’m about to ask: should I like him or not, so I won’t do that. Instead I’ll ask: what are ur fave Zappa tracks? One of mine is Watermelon in Easter Hay
Honestly have always hated his musical vibe and the blaring misogyny. He was also a consumate complainer. I never understood boundaries he pushed. Like who cares? Full disclosure, I do associate Zappa entirely with my pedo libertarian uncle so I might be looking through turd-colored glasses.
