Frank Zappa "live" at the Palatrussardi in Milan (2 June 1988)
Automatic translation: Frank Zappa, on the other hand, despite his 48 years, has shown no signs of slowing down. The most impertinent of contemporary musicians, the scourge of American customs, has given one of the most beautiful lessons in music and irony; an absolutely complete show in which the first not to be spared was precisely the "dear, old and wrinkled" Ronnie (I mean Reagan and not the television Red), defined by Frank as "a monkey", without offense to this animal of course. As in the days of his first LP, "Freak Out", he showed the other side of America and all this a few days after the Michael Jackson concert. So, if on one side there is the star of acoloren (indefinable by now) with his concert made of perfect replicas, of perfect schemes, like in a sort of living video clip, on the other there is the brilliant transgression that ranges from a live re-edition of Ravel's "Bolero" to the theme song of the TV series "Bonanza" passing through the legendary "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin duly mocked. Frank also performed magnificently in the song he wrote for his son Dweezil. A title that says it all: "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama", for a song perhaps a little too... painted for the immature Dweezil.
