2008 Vibes - Friday, 9:15 p.m.
I’m not one of those Frank Zappa aficionados that knows all 80 of his records inside and out, but I do appreciate his music. I had copies of “Apostrophe,” “We’re Only In It for the Money” and “Joe’s Garage” growing up, but I was never close to being what you could call a Frank fanatic.
Tonight’s Zappa Plays Zappa show may cause me to expand my horizons beyond his greatest-hits collection.
Son Dweezil and his band were captivating and showed me there’s a lot more to Frank than just the songs that made him famous.
In a recent phone interview for the Post story that ran Thursday, Dweezil started the Zappa Plays Zappa shows to remind people that songs like “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” “Cosmik Debris” and “Valley Girl” were just a small part of what his father was about.
You can consider that message brought home, not just to me, but to the thousands of people in attendance tonight.
