It was really very interesting. I’m not really a fan of Germaine Greer and, although I think he was very clever and talented, I’m not an ardent follower of Frank Zappa’s music but I still found this a very Reithian half-hour: educational, informative and entertaining.
Excellent quotes, too, PM.

I can't say I'm an ardent follower but Hot Rats is certainly on my DID list (I demand to be able to take albums. If someone can take the whole of Beethoven's Ninth why can't I have In the Hall of the Crimson King?).

Excellent quotes, too, PM. I'm of a similar opinion. Zappa's a bit of a cold fish and doesn't really inspire much in the way of emotion. Some of his music is clever and Hot Rats is well worth a listen although its not something that you'd listen to that often. I have the same problem with Morrissey, I can take it in small doses. In Zappas case the purile lyrics grate after awhile and as a person I didn't find him to have much depth underneath the witty intellectualism. In other words similar to Germaine Greer herself. |
