Singing and being Above the chaos of men 3/3

…no Christian no gods no heaven sent reasons to murder, maim and mistreat No left no right no nazis no woke no flags to conceal their treacherous feats No politicians no sycophants no parties no kings No faking the knee no kissing of rings Here Blackcap, blackbird, Chiffchaff and wren, 2/3

Here Blackcap, blackbird, Chiffchaff and wren, Wood-pigeon, robin and still more then No Genocide, ecocide, wars to hide Lies Crimes against humanity, innocents and child No AI, surveillance, disappearance, deception No hatred no vengeance No submission no insurrection No Jew no Muslim… 1/n

This is from 2019. Even my dog is into it.

Even if you're not into Frank this is great. What a sound.

It's a beautiful piece of music and this is a beautiful interpretation. Something soothing for Sunday....Blessed Relief #chananhanspal #zappa youtu.be/8V7fGDuECWQ?...

Frank Zappa: American Composer, an audio documentary 1/4

The Zappa Estate just keeps knocking 'em out of the park. The Bongo Fury box is a treasure chest full of dusty, frantic, high-octane, desert blues. Wow!

Thrilled to share my book "Frank Zappa's America" was awarded "First Place for General Adult Nonfiction" by the Illinois Woman's Press Association, and will compete in the national content by the National Federation of Press Women. Thanks to everyone for their support!

I've got my new set of Bongos...

Now then.....evening plans sorted.... Thank you as always @burningshed.com #zappa #cranksomefrank

If you want to understand Zappa the composer, satirist, and bandleader, One Size Fits All (1975) is where all three shake hands. The humour is the smoke, the band’s precision is the fire. An album that winks at you and challenges you in the same breath. Zappa fans know: Respect the sofa! #Zappa

One of my favourite Zappa tunes beautifully interpreted. This is very clever stuff!

Burnt Weeny Sandwich, the seventh album by The Mothers of Invention was released #OTD 1970. #Zappa

Very sad news Fred Smith, bassist of the rock band Television, passed away yesterday at the age of 77. Photo: Lynn Goldsmith #RIPFredSmith

Sad news about Fred Smith. The music of Television, along with Wire, was something new bold and exciting in 1977. #RIP

Lick My Decals Off, Baby is the less cheerful but fascinating sequel to Trout Mask Replica. I usually forget I have this, so it's always a nice surprise when I remember.

Happy birthday to George Duke, born on this day in 1946! The San Rafael-raised jazz fusion keyboard wizard who worked with Zappa, Adderley & Clarke, pioneering synth grooves and crossing every genre boundary with effortless cool.

Just watched my beautiful wife, 68 years young, doing the washing up, whistling her lungs out and dancing like an idiot to Zappa's Gumbo Variations and it made me so......HAPPY!

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends.

Tho performance by Lou Reed & David Bowie is from DB's 50th birthday show in NYC in Jan 1997. I'm playing guitar & leading the band. Rehearsing with Lou was a trip. 🎸😎

“The Undertow” was an influence on me while writing my book about Frank Zappa’s crusade against white Christian nationalism that published this summer, and I would love for it to outsell hers. Fingers crossed!

On the ninth day of #Zappadan my true love gave to me; nine feet a'stinking, eight willies pimping, seven dogs a'breathing, six weasels ripping FIVE CHEAP THRILLS, four hungry freaks, three King Kongs, two burnt weenies, and a spoonful of lumpy gravy.

Is #Zappadan still happening? I believe it is, and I couldn’t, in good conscience, post the above without posting this.

Many thanks to author @jamescampion.bsky.social for including "Frank Zappa's America" on his holiday guide! Very grateful to him for his review of my book that captures the essence of Zappa's political messaging within his music, and why it is so relevant today. www.patreon.com/posts/rock-r...
