Perfect album!

Reviewed on June 25th, 2001
I want to first respond to the review by "A music fan from Ventura CA" who warned not to buy the album "unless you are a ... bashin' redneck who needs to yuck it up with your homophobic buddies" and asked, "Is he a HOMOPHOBE or what?!?!"You should go pick up his book, The Real Frank Zappa. You may be offended by his lyrics, but his intentions are not to express hatred. He just likes to speak his mind, no matter how perverse YOU may find it. The only song that seems to mention homosexuality is "Bobby Brown Goes Down," but to me it's just a song about judging people at first sight and how the "All-American" jock-type men are really just as freaky as the rest of us except they repress themselves too much. Secondly, the music is VERY "groovin'", the "grooviest" being "Yo' Mama," "City of Tiny Lights" and "Rat Tomago" in my opinion of course. And humorous too! You might find them lyrically offensive, but I don't: "I Have Been in You" (a parody of the cheesiest Peter Frampton song of the '70's), "Flakes", "Baby Snakes," "Broken Hearts are for...," "Jewish Princess," and your favorite... "Bobby Brown Goes Down." This is also one of the more "accessible" FZ albums. If you enjoyed Apostrophe ('), I recommend getting this one. If you have a free mind that likes musical and lyrical freedom, this one's for you. I love and miss you Frank!
