… It Just Smells Funny! The Independent: “Having infuriated its classical music traditionalists, BBC Radio 3 has angered jazz purists among its audience by deciding to feature the rock icon Frank Zappa.” Nice to see Zappa’s music is still capable of pissing off certain people.

This reminds me of the time I saw John Zorn perform while I was visiting a friend in New York.
It was a night of group improvisation featuring Zorn and various friends and colleges. We sat in the balcony of the theatre behind an older couple (early 60’s) that made a big show of emphatically “Shush”ing anyone who made the slightest noise during the performance. Finally, after about thirty minutes of this, My friend leaned forward, during a break in the music and asked the couple, in a loud voice, “You do realize this is the guy who wrote the song ‘Fuck Off Pretentious Jazz Snob’ don’t you?”
