RIP — Frank Zappa
Multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, Frank Zappa died of prostrate cancer on this date in 1993. Zappa recorded many albums with The Mothers Of Invention and solo, 1969 album ‘Hot Rats’, 1974 album ‘Apostrophe’, featuring ‘Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow’. His first band was The Blackouts, Zappa recorded one of the first concept albums, ‘Freak Out’.
Frank was the greatest rock’n'roll guitarist and composer of all time. He proved to me that life is measured in productivity, not in time. Why in god’s name did he have to die? He produced 100 years of material in less than 30 years.
