21 years ago today we lost this great crazy genius mind, but that bastard we call the universe got his energy. Frank Zappa left us with a wealth of music, a treasure that is beyond belief. I couldn't decide which song I wanted to choose as my 'jam' cuz in a way everything he's ever done is my jam even when I'm not listening to it. I remember finding the album that included Porn Wars on it back when I was a kid and thinking finally someone else understands how I feel about "outrageous filth" not really being either when you think about it. I remember falling in lust with Moon Unit the first time I heard Valley Girl and imagining how would I possibly ask her out on a date cuz you know you'd have to get Mr. Zappa's permission and what would that conversation be like? Best to just admire her from a safe distance. In the wake of Ferguson & other craziness on this planet today, this song proves Frank was both ahead of his time, and eternal. Much love and respect sir, wherever you are.
