You are correct. Grammy/Oscars is a popularity contest. Next they'll have awards for the best DJ. Zappa is and will forever be in a class by himself. Really glad Dweezil is bring F's music to a new generation.

Grammy sucks, Zappa deserves a Nobel Prize

I discovered Zappa's music trough his son 'cause I'm really young and I think is amazing BUT have you seen Dweezil's wife O.o she's freakin' beautiful!!!!!

Congratz Dweezil. Your father deserved it. Not often do award give to great artists.

@theachtungtree I think Frank would have said "That's nice. Thanks." but not been overly excited by it.

@ToolShedDaddy C'mon man. Have a heart. What if it was your dad?

[gregorybrian]

All I could think was that, no matter how experimental, outrageous, challenging or confrontational the Zappa reputation is, there is heart and that Dweezil was up there looking at his family and seeing the absence of his beloved father. Made me tear up, thinking: what if that was me? Not the rock sensation (Dweezil) but the son of a good man, a man, a father who wasn't around anymore, a person I loved who I'd never see again.

wow, the Zappa family keeps getting better looking with each generation. Just hope one of Dweezil's little hotties will have a little Frankie someday...

[CletusColtrane]

Dweezil was awesome with Don Johnson, lol

[ToolShedDaddy]

Da Weezel is always crying and acting like a retard ////// His dad would be pissed

As others have commented, shame Dweezil's acceptance speech was slotted for an un-televised portion of the show. Sad too that the commentator titles Frank as 'guitarist...' 'Composer' more like it, and no title really does justice to Zappa's vision and talent.
