#6 Freak Out! The Mothers Of Invention A statement of
freedom from Frank Zappa, LA's ringmaster of satirical mischief,
Freak Out! brings West Coast Dadaism to bear on the exploding
plasticity of '60s counterculture. Trashing the LA scene, Zappa
guides us through mondo Sunset Strip, while dipping into his
treasured doo-wop ("Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder") and
chronicling the city's 1965 Watts riots ("Trouble Every Day") en
passant. (BH) |
