Why do I feel as though I'm at a fake FEMA press conference?
Yes, Mr jimmy d, that was my first post on this forum. I have, however, for many years followed this forum from a very safe distance. If you are offended by that "anyone can sign up" let me tell you that I have lived and breathed FZs music for over forty years and in all attended 82 concerts. Previously I didn't post for the very simple reason that you so blatantly show - most of the post are silly one-liners and thus often embarrassingly juvenile. If you and most others have bothered to learn more about Frank and his music you wouldn’t have aired your silly opinions and assorted bullshit.
As this thread deals with copyright issues let me remind you all that Frank stated numerous of times that he would prefer his music not to be played at all over being played incorrectly. Further, he certainly did not want anyone else to make money of anything to which he owned the rights. Nor did he want it to be used in a way of which he did not like. I am sure he asked, and/or expect, Gail to continue to protect his artistic treasure in this fashion to the very best of her judgement. The rest of us may not like this policy but that is most likely the way Frank would have liked it. So, when you whine and cry over why not more live concerts are being made available in this or that format please remember that Frank most likely would not have released it without many hours of pasting and cutting in order to take the compositions to a level he believed they deserve. That being said, let me make it perfectly clear that no one, and I mean no one, would love to see more live concerts released than I do. So, Gail, I beg you, pleaeeeeeeese........
Joe Blow,
May I first state that it is a breath of fresh air to read forum commentary that is articulated not only which stems from long life experience but gives respect to the artistic intent of the artist.
While Frank Zappa most certainly had a diversity of multifarious compositions all of which minimally never failed to raise some given though provoking response more times than not the comprehention of this work was limited or met with fanatical self indulgent directives. In my mentioning of limiting and fanatical self indulgent directives this could minimally be placed on some Cartesian plane with governmental and media controlled agendas.
As fanatics search for NEW PRODUCT pooting forth with where , when why and how it becomes a fanatical MeAsaueous agenda when it turns from not only a fanatical desire for vault material but turns to publishing and cover band ejectamenta.
So NEW PRODUCT becomes MeAsaurus NEW PRODUCT where the artistic intent of the artist is at some given point on the Cartesian plane.
So there are not only plane coordinated for Official art but all this MeAsaurus stuff needs to be placed in it's own geometrical graph. By no means am I some Scientist of Geography but when applying the basic principles to the MeAsaurus NEW PRODUCT we can see that the true intent of the artist id frequently OFF THE CHART.
