Hey Linus... I guess you forgot this and the other 4-5 paragraphs I wrote about the music.

Even if I did, I snorted down 4 cans of scotch guard, so I've been in more of a Hootie and the Blowfish mood. You know, the kind of mood when I like to smear peanut butter on my nuts and have my ferret lick it off.
Yes. Falsifications are annoying aren't they? Hey, if you're going to be a pundit, at least do it right. My post is still up, but I can see you deleted this one... But I got it before you did. That thing with the ferret is gross, by the way. I think you can go to jail for that shit.
You are a piece of shit. I explicitly mentioned in that post you took a little DJ shit-poop-ass sample of and looped, that my opinion is irrelevant and went on to provide a 4-5 paragraph description of why it is a better compostion than Bitches Brew (which I do like and think is a great jam session). It explores far new realms of jazz...
Bitches Brew suffers from the limitations of jazz, imposed by that genre. Even then, the jazz community was quite upset by this release. No synthesizers, even though the VCS was quite affordable at this time. But it's not a "jazz" instrument. Zappa didn't think like that at all. He expanded on jazz and created something wonderful... thoughtful composition integrated with improvisation and experimentation. Yes, there is an obvious Bitches Brew influence, but he goes beyond.
It is a better work than Bitches Brew. Would anyone care to defend this, or talk about any Zappa material? I may agree some of it is crap. But seriously, let's talk about the music. Almost everyone refuses to do this.
