Zappa interviewed by the Finnish national tv after a press conference, where the local media was shy to ask any questions. This interview starts with a question "did they ask stupid questions?".

yes, it's so refreshing to hear someone with SOMETHING to say, instead of oll that reality TV crap and entertainment "non-news"...(which I am forced to listen to because my wife has those stations tuned all teh time...woe is me)

I don't know that he overlooked it, he knew who Angel was enough to mock them. That he chose not to write in whatever the current style was is admirable, it doesn't mean that he was oblivious to those styles.

@superkulmedkniv25 this is very true,

[superkulmedkniv25]

@TalentedToast well, i see the Bieber referance, but the truth is, the pop industry have always been fond of non - intelligent music. There's good music, and there's bad music, and that's the way it's always been.

Woow 5 hours of rehersal for 3 Weeks

I dont think any commercial sucessful Band today does that

Well Frank Zappa Genious and perfectionist and social critic in one person

@LeeWrens Agreed, there's curruption from every walk of life, and curruption within a powerful influence to society is very dangerous. Yes, putting effort into bettering people's lives and not intruding in them is incredibly valuable to all. Like all these Mormon mothers trying to pass insanely life altering laws, that might ruin our society if we don't keep it up.

[DiablosAguacate]

@LeeWrens Yes he is, but of course that's only his opinion, we can understand that he's entitled to that. I can see he also just meant he feels the workings within the American education is currupt and cannot be trusted, that concept is universally trusted since nobody can see themselves as saviors. Yeah stereotypes don't work I agree that doesn't mean censor it altogether. Everyone's opinion says something about our society and psychology. I apologize if I misinterpretted.

[LeeWrens]

@DiablosAguacate He's also implying the American education system is worthless. That is far from true. I've found a lot of value in my education. A university education is what YOU make of it. There are a lot of people who decide to fuck around and just "bullshit the degree" by barely passing. Then there's the majority of students who put in an honest effort to learn. Many Americans see it as a responsibility to become eduated. I'm one of them. Plus it is VERY hard to BS a Biochem degree!

[LeeWrens]

@DiablosAguacate I never implied that Mr. Sunmanho lost all credibility. He claimed my degree was "worthless." He's implying that I have no credibility simply because I'm an American. Usually when someone uses such a stereotype they are very ignorant! I mean come on! His answer to my question was "because I am from China." That statement is PURE bias. This guy's a troll and he's obviously just trying to get a reaction from me.
