Anyone who has known me for more than a week knows what a huge fan of Frank Zappa's work I am. Ignoring the fact that he was as cool as the cat's pajamas, the catalog of songs that he has left us is more than most musicians can even begin to dissect in one lifetime.
One thing that was really amazing is the diversity and eclectic nature of his music-- it really did come from a little bit of everything and I am sure that there *is* a song for everyone somewhere within his 65 record career (with new material STILL surfacing from the vault every now and then) And, if a portion of his tunes are a bit dated -- the outstanding majority are absolutely timeless. Even though I never got a chance to meet him, I miss him. There is always that feeling of I wonder what else he might have done.
Watch him on Crossfire.
He truly was a one and only.
