Title: Is it Humor if Nobody Laughs?
Review: Does Humor Belong in Music? Well, that depends. A more relevant question to help you decide whether this DVD is for you is, Do you think Frank Zappa is funny? I myself don't really think he is, and I am hardly alone in thinking that. If you are one of those people who disagree with me, you may like this, as most of what you get in this DVD is FZ 'humor'. There is very little Zappa guitar soloing here.To me, this document underlines the reasons Zappa more or less lost his credibility with so many people. His arrogance and attempts at humor really undermined his real abilities as a guitarist and frequently interesting compositions, and for the most part the problem only got worse over time. Here we see him in 1984-85, so the problem is fairly advanced.Summary, using only FZ titles:Q: Does Humor Belong in Music?A: Shut Up & Play Your Guitar.
