Few people in the music business understood it in all its complexities and weirdness. Zappa was one of the few. He could—and did—play doowop, jazz, rock, R’n’B, blues, classical, and everything else in between. From Zappa album #1 in 1966, Freak Out!, to #100 (posthumously) in 2015, Dance Me This, he has always been praised as an innovator, as a brilliant musician, as an amazing band leader, and as a true spokesman for those who seek justice and democracy.
Zappa constantly encouraged fans to register to vote—on record albums and in concert. So this is (do it) for him:
I would vote for him (his currently deceased status notwithstanding), before I would vote for any of the 17 candidates who make up the list of “Republicans” vying for their “party’s” nomination!
