No. 3

Les Inventions de Monsieur Zappa
By Paul Inconnu, pp 16-18
Ponty parle de Zappa
p 19

Frank Zappa is a pop icon. He points a nasty finger at an America that isn't exactly the mother of this son of immigrants. He founded the Mothers of Invention, who, at his instigation, sang satirical melodies about Hollywood, its long limousines, and five o'clock-afternoon whiskeys. They made the old folks cringe and the young laugh. But for a long time, the sarcasm overshadowed Zappa's music: intention took precedence over form. A mistake. "Weasels Ripped My Flesh," the Mothers' last album, is a marvel: it opens new avenues for pop music. This is the first part of a study on Zappa, the Newton of pop. (read more)
