It’s easy.
None.
how the fuck do you know?
Because Camels were not yet domesticated.
What do you think about that?
I’ve always preferred the line up in the last two- Montana and Dupree’s Paradise. Fowler, Duke, Underwood, Ponty, Humphrey. Most of the live stuff done with the original MOI- the first video- is okay but often overloaded with satire. In fact the entire decade of the sixties was a period of excessive satire for frank for obvious reasons. The musical scene was such that it made wonderful material for parody and satire. The seventies not so much.
I agree.
Here is a video called “Frank Zappa Philosophy”:

Don Pardo gets excited when the band transitions into Pound for a Brown from I’m the Slime.
Was Zappa a Schopenhauerian?
“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.” - Frank Zappa.
Cheers!
“One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds.” - Frank Zappa.
“I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn’t own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the pursuit is in progress.” - Frank Zappa.
“There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.” - Frank Zappa.
“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.” - Frank Zappa.
Hey!
Thank you very much.
Those with fixed opinions about music such as those expressed in this thread should understand that all
