Frank Zappa – Geni eller galning?
(Frank Zappa – Genius or Madman?)
By Stefan Wallberg, 4 pp

Gravy @ zappa.com forums:
The 'Monster' magazine asks if Zappa was a genius or a madman. I
don't recognize the name of the writer. He tells, more or less, the
story of Zappa. He has taken a lot from the 'Real Frank Zappa Book'
and the rest from various articles. There's one quote, though, I
haven't seen before.
Zappa says: "I consider Adolf Hitler to be the worst person that
have ever lived. And he didn't like AC/DC. He liked Wagner."
Zappa is supposed to have said this, concerning the myth that
heavy metal makes people prone to violence...
Also, at the end of the article, there's a list of ten records which
Zappa would take with him to a desert island. He named them in a
radio show called 'Castaway's
Choice' in 1989.
Anyway, these are Zappa's ten choices:
1. Octandre – Edgard Varèse
2. The Royal
March from L'Histoire du Soldat – Igor Stravinsky
3. The
Rite of Spring – Igor Stravinsky
4. Third Piano Concerto,
First Movement – Béla Bartok
5. Stolen Moments – Oliver
Nelson
6. Three Hours Past Midnight – Johnny Guitar Watson
7.
Can I Come Over Tonight – The Velours
8. Bagatelles for
String Quartet – Anton Webern
9. The Anton Webern Symphony,
Opus 21 – Anton Webern
10. Piano Concerto in G – Maurice Ravel
