So anyways, what about Inca Roads? Is it the single greatest Zappa-song in existence?

I have a 10 point infraction from Yac saying "Work on your thesis! Do it!"

But I asked for it.

I don't know if there is a limit. The way the infractions are supposed to work is roughly like this:

When users break rules, mods punish with infractions. The infractions last for a set amount of...

To be an insufferable bore, all bans given to humans (not spambots) should be given as 10+ point infractions because they go on the user's record. Which is useful.

As I already stated, it took me a while (years) to arrive at my current position. I don't want FZ to have been sexist. However, I also don't want to be blind to it and either way I can't really unsee...

This is roughly what I believe he did and what Butcher's account seems to confirm.

It's my impression that as women became a commodity, he lost some respect for them. I think he could offend them...

It's the account of someone who spent a lot of time with Zappa, saw his behaviour and discussed women's lib and morals with him. She addressed what is understatedly called their double standard. How...

Alright, I see your failing to address Butcher's criticism of Zappa in any meaningful way. I guess it's the closest you're gonna come to a concession.

Is this about your views? I thought we were discussing Frank Zappa. I feel like you're simply avoiding some good evidence counter to your position on FZ.



That's really cool :)

No (though Gail didn't approve), but the lyrics coupled with the stories make it seem like he didn't really respect women.

The point that seems perpetually lost on Terrapin and probably Mucha is it's not Crew Slut. It's every song that features women in any capacity. It's in the bovine perspiration of Dynah Moe-Humm and...

I'd probably just give her a name or call her girl or woman and somehow, without judgment, describe her joy of having sex with members of the band. Why would I have to invoke a derogatory term at...

Joe's garage is a little sexist, but I do feel he really ramps up the nasty around the time of Sheik Yerbouti. I mentioned Broken Hearts Are For *******s and Punky's Whips. What about Bobby Brown?...
