Frank Zappa iz The Hollywood Pretenders



Well, sort of. I just started working my way through the dense, but quite enjoyable, Frank Zappa: The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play, by Ben Watson. It's a hefty tome that places Zappa in the larger framework of twentieth-century thinkers and creators via the negative dialectics of Theodor Adorno. So far I'm really getting a kick out of reading about his pre-Mothers years, from whence this little nugget emerged, during his experimental tenure at Pal Recording Studio.

Dig Frank's great fuzz guitar!
