Floss...snicker,snicker, Might I inject some irony?



I'm trying to maintain a standard of decorum but with all this talk of 
Post-Modern music and dental floss I'm shocked nobody has mentioned 
Zappa's 
use of floss as a (well, how should I phrase this text in order to get it 
on 
television) a symbol for lonely auto-erotic type activities. "Raising my 
lonely dental floss...  Raisin' it up, Waxin' it down..., you get the 
picture.
If you mix this in with Johnny "Guitar" Watson's take on solo studio 
multitracking...Ahhhhh, these looping jokes are too obvious, forget it...  
If anyone wants to dig deeper into absurd Zappa scholar theories such as; 
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow and King Lear, or Montana and Freud, read "The 
Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play".  This dissertation gone wrong is an 
Hegelian/Marxist critique of Zappa's life and canon that makes a genuine 
(but strange) attempt to place him in context with the modern and 
post-modern era's other monster geniuses, Joyce, Freud, Stravinsky, 
Nancarrow...et al.  (Slave to the context) there are some comments on his 
use of looping with the 80's bands in the later chapters.
