Frank Zappa, is and will always be remembered as a musician; but what many people aren’t aware of was his crusade to rid the world of mediocrity, while tearing down barriers the only way he knew how, through his music.
Zappa, a highly intelligent musician had not only an influenced his peers (in rock, jazz or classical genres) and scores of musicians to follow; but he also impacted science and art in America.
How many musicians can claim that they have an animal or arachnid species named after them? Zappa’s definition of rock journalism, is definitive of a man who never only subscribed to rock music, although it was his first love, he saw the intrinsic beauty in all musical genres. Zappa in his pursuit of mastering as many genres as possible showed the world that music (even rock) can be used as a means to educate and convey stories which would otherwise never have been told.
“Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.” ― Frank Zappa
