Automatic translation: When public broadcasters refuse to broadcast certain works, this has always been a welcome opportunity for their writing colleagues to lash out at music editors for their lack of humor and patronizing attitude. With this latest Zappa outpouring, no one will care that German radio stations are only broadcasting one of the eight songs: "Joe's Garage," the title track about the golden sixties. The rest of the taboo-smasher's album, which is nobody knows how many, is simply too silly and irrelevant ("Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?") and too monotonously tedious ("Wet T-Shirt Nite"), because in the long run, Zappa's own subconscious anxieties aren't enough to fill an evening. Especially since the musical parody paths this vulgar lyricism traverses are well-trodden. And anyway: If Emma and Alice catch him, the "male chauvinist pig" Zappa will be in trouble anyway, because he writes such misogynistic songs!
