Oh, Hello There. I'm One Of The Most Awesome People Ever
Wikipedia calls him a composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director. That only just scratches the surface.
Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Zappa, a man so awesome his mustache is trademarked, a man so influential that everyone from Weird Al to System Of A Down acknowledge his impact, a man so quirky that everyone from that guy down the street who lives with his parents and is always hungry for reasons I cannot state here to Al Gore are fans of his, a man so creative that he wrote, in about thirty-fourty years, eighty albums worth of songs, a man so creative that even now, nearly twenty years after his death there is still enough original material he never released to put out about an average of two a year. Also that whole thing he did in the senate, that was pretty epic too.
Today would have been his 69th birthday. Frank, happy birthday, and I'm sorry I missed Zappa Day this past August.
