No, but I listened to it this morning. That's awesome.

I actually stumbled upon him in an unusual way... I like a lot of Eric Burdon's songs - especially the stuff he did with War, and I was listening to this one a few years back, like 2017 or so:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Wjkg7UpK8&pp=ygUaZGVkaWNhdGlvbiBlcmljIGJ1cmRvbiB3YXI=

... and had no idea what it was about. So I looked it up, and that's when I learned of Rahsaan Roland Kirk! I have some of his albums now but feel like I've only barely scratched the surface. I can't understand why he wasn't better known... seems like he was a legend in his own time.

I had a similar experience with the Giant catalog of Jazz musicians from one of the Frank Zappa and MOI albums Weasels Ripped My Flesh. There was a song titled the Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue and I went to the music store at the time in downtown Boston and found this whole new genre of music and been hooked ever since.

The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue. FZ and the MOI.

Zappa had so much in the recording studio in his house, there have been more records with his unreleased music than the albums he produced when alive.
I am at a time in my life I don't buy cd's or albums, any new stuff I find on youtube. I always loved the Hot Rats album with the freaky looking woman in infrared. All the songs are just great imo. Chunga's Revenge he does a great impersonation of BB King on Road Ladies. Grand Wazoo and Apostrephe are great albums with FZ and the MOI. Zappa's incredible guitar work is imo one of the greatest ever from any era or genre.

Have you ever listened to Sonny Rollins? He was the top tenor sax man up until Coltrane came on the scene. No one ever heard before how Trane made the notes sound like nothing anyone ever heard. Sonny went into seclusion, and practiced for two years in New York on the Washington Bridge and then came back with this album and title song wearing a Mohawk haircut, I kid you not.

thanks for the recs! I'll check them out when i have time.

I've found Zappa stuff I like in bits and pieces. I think my favorite thing he's done is the BBC version of King Kong, which blows my mind at parts.



It's hard because there's only so much time, and I feel like he intentionally made a lot of joke/goofy stuff to put people off (though I don't view him negatively for that... a lot of creative people are like that), but that stuff is hard to sift through, and I don't want to buy it and then hate it.

The King Kong was another masterpiece by FZ. Jean Luc Ponty the jazz violinist is on that song. You can always find which ones you like by going on YouTube and writing in the box the album of song.

I ‘ve put together reel of songs from commercials advertising prescription medication.

My favorites are Jardiance and Ozempic for weight loss (disguised as medication for diabetes) and Sotyktu, the psoriasis med, the one that starts with the hot wife in the tub who’s getting ready to do some kind of presentation at some resort, and she’s brought her husband and daughter along.

There’s really no song, just an instrumental melody.

The Skyrizi song has lyrics, but the visuals of the ad for Sotyktu are better.
