In Reply to: Double reduncy: "true, in fact" posted by Roscoe East on December 26, 2006 at 11:45:11:
Sorry for the reduncy.Citation? Please. Whenever a discussion of great rock guitarists comes up, you hear Page, Clapton, Hendrix, etc.--unless you have particularly astute folks doing the discussing.
Meanwhile, even most folks who wouldn't recognize a single Zappa tune know he had "visionary scope." I would put that a little differently, but I know what you mean.
That's all. Perhaps you hang with more astute people.
Follow Ups:
Yeah, I've been accused of "hanging with the astutes" once or twice before. :)In the circles where I travel, the names Page & Clapton haven't come up since the 1970's. (Hendrix is pretty much a gimme; there oughtta be a corollary to Godwin's Law stating that in any conversation about guitarists, the invocation of Jimi Hendrix's name merits an instant cessation of any further discussion.) Whereas I hear Zappa's name all too often lumped in with shredders, chopsmeisters, Guitar Player cover models, poofy-haired axe-slingers, and all manner of other guitar "heroes" who play a million notes per second.

I would contend that the folks who don't recognize a single Zappa tune are way more likely to know [sic] that he wrote "funny songs". Definitely not the same thing!
