Tout le génie musical de Zappa concentré dans un seul morceau.

Como se extraña a este par de genios y locos, que eran rebeldes, reaccionarios, radicales en su musica y contrarios al "stablishment" musical de esa epoca, Frank Zappa y Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet) por siempre!!!!!!!!!!!

This song helped convince me that my decision to leave school at 16 made sense. After all, Brown Shoes Don't Make It. That was in 1967 and it is a decision I've never regretted it.

@0ddj0e Clearly you've never heard Crusing With Ruben and the Jets.

@rhungri I would say the opposite. Throughout his career, he was constantly exploring new genres of music, and turning them upside-down. He called it "amateur anthropology" in his autobiography. For example, "Thing-Fish" is a Broadway-style production that represents the exact opposite of what you would expect to see on Broadway. "We're Only in It for the Money" was presented as a regular 60s psychedelic pop album, when in fact it was the exact opposite.
