Happy Birthday, Frank Zappa.

Those of us with an aptitude for music miss you every day.

I really REALLY wish he was still with us. I would LOVE to know what he thinks about Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, Glee, and most importantly, AMERICAN IDOL... Actually I know what he would THINK about it. What I'd love to know is what he would SAY about it.

RIP, FZ

It's a good thing Frank shunned drugs.

they had bad music just as much back then as now. We just see more of it because of the media

I'd love to have Zappa as judge on American Idol.

FZ judging all those prima donnas on americal idol would be absolutely brutal.
i smiled just thinking about it

"I'm sure Adam can f--king sing 10 times better than Mick Jagger, but who gives a s--t... He ain't f--king Mick Jagger. You know what I mean? There are probably a million guitar players in the world better than Keith Richards, but they ain't f--king Keith Richards!"

"I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned?I think people need to get out there and they need to work and they need to do their music because they love it."

"If they become successful, then great, and if they are not, whatever?that's the way the chips may fall. I just get disgusted watching people crying that it should have been them, that they're a star, that they're special," he added. "You know what? F--k you!"

I may be totally wrong , but he was a dancing fool.

My all time favorite Zappa song from the 60's:

Go cry on somebody's Else's shoulder.

he was one of the best in my lifetime. One cool dude.

I'm sure a lot of film directors would have similar things to say about Rob Zombie. That guy is as much of a joke as many of the contestants on AI.

zombie rules.

Did you see his version of Halloween?

That sums up the feelings of many professionals in the business. Producers in Nashville laugh behind the backs of some of these Idol folks who record there. Autotune is their friend, trust me.

yes
it was fantastic. I'm a horror FAN and THAT was a great movie.
Didn't require much on the side of jump out at you kind of scares. Rather he made you imagine more you were in their shoes... That is more scary to me! Also the first "act" of it where we actually see into the creation of the monster when he is a child was VERY interesting to me. The sheer calm that he showed when he beat that kid to death with the log was as well done a scene as I've seen in horror movies and I've seen hundreds and hundreds of them.

I just like his darker-than-thou approach. Devils Rejects was another good one. I have to say, though, that the second halloween he did was pretty friggin lame... but yes I'm a total fan in case you can't tell.

I'll agree to disgree b/c I know there are some hardcore horror junkies that think he's a joke but I've always liked him. Even been a fan since I saw White Zombie back in the 90's. Go buy "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume I." Thank me later. :o)

peace guys and happy new year.
I'm gonna' go listen to Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar
