Weird of Hermiston, you have got to be the most pompous, musically uninformed person I have ever heard. In the past few weeks you have espoused that Zappa had nothing to say; you have put down John Lennon by stating that he was merely a "hypocrite and a bum" while maintaining that the only true geniouses were Hendrix, Clapton, and Dylan.
You must (wrongly) think you have been gaining some good momentum here but let me attempt to set you straight. First, when you made the comment that Zappa's music and songwriting was on a child's level, you put a major foot in your mouth. As I said before, you simply don't get it. Have you ever heard of metaphores? Moreover, neither Hendrix nor Clapton could adequately play Zappa's music given that much of Frank's music is simply too complicated to play whilst under the influence. They'd have been booted out of the band the second it became apparent to Zappa that they were using.
Your momentum continued when you said the man had nothing to say. Now the funny thing here is that you made this comment about the musician who argueably had more meaningful things to say than any other musician in your lifetime. Those who are informed, know exactly what I am talking about. I believe you then go on to gush over Bob Dylan which is OK., however I will say that I don't get Dylan and recently walked out of a Dylan concert. I just don't get performers who completely ignore their audience, which is precisely what Dylan did on this night. Now, just because I don't get Dylan, as he does absolutely nothing for me, I can appreciate the impact that he has had on others and I respect him and them for it. But where you made a complete and utter fool of yourself was in taking on Mr. Lennon's lifestyle while ignoring that of your hero, Mr Hendrix. 'The mistreatment of his wife was inexcuseable.' I beg you to look into Jimi's history as it is well documented that he made a habit of physically abusing the women in his life. So to call Lennon a worthless hypocrite and then drool over Mr. Hendrix ... well, I think my point has been made. Finally, I urge you to study up on your music history as there are impressionable young people who likely read your dribble. If I were teaching a class on music history and appreciation you'd be placed in the remedial section, with the Britany Spears fans. Good day.
