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. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
