I was listening to Broadway the Hard Way on the way to work the other
day. He nailed the Christian-right political agenda to the wall back in
1989. [Just think if Frank had lived long enough to enter the
governor's race against Arnold.]
Well DUHH! that's a lot LATER and he had something to SAY and did that
too... If he HAD a message for lyrics, he wrote it an dused it, if he
DIDIN:T, he;d just spray Funwords up there and have a blast too.
You want message? Do FZ MEETS THE MOTHERS OF PREVENTION... Great stuff if
you like real late 20th cent abstract sound collage work (and I do!) and
he's BRUTAL...
I think every word he uttered had serious thought
behind it.
And I think he;d be bemused by that sort of take on his work as a
generalisation...
Anyone who idolized Varese as a kid was hardly a lightweight
in any sense.
