translation: In Milan, the English band Police and the legendary
Frank Zappa attract over fifty thousand spectators.
Milan. Frank Vincent Zappa, 43, from Baltimore
(United States), known as "the Stravinski of rock", has chosen
Italy for his long summer tour. On the limelight since 1966,
Zappa, singer, musician and poet, continues to fascinate young
people, so much so that, on the occasion of the concert in Milan,
the police had to disperse with tear gas those who were protesting
for not being able to attend. Zappa is considered an "uncomfortable
character" in the United States due to the harsh and irreverent
criticism he addresses to the system. Major radio and television
networks have even imposed an embargo on his songs. "They consider
me a public enemy" says Frank Zappa "but it's not true, I love
my country, but I can't stand stupid people and unfortunately
there are many".
