Rock journalism is people who
can't write interviewing people
who can't talk for people who
can't read.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

cant make heads or tails out of this one Rock journalism is people ? what do you all think this means?? Please let me hear your translation!
Is it that rock journalists are people who can't write, the rockers they interview can't talk, and the people who read their magazines aren't readers?
This, incidentally, from the man who named one of his kids "Moon Unit." What do you think of his name choices, Mr. Howard? (his other kids: Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen, according to Wikipedia)
Frankly, O Frank Zappa, I think you are being witty without substance. And if I ever met a kid named Dweezil, I would seriously consider turning the parents in for child abuse...
o.k., now we (I) are getting somewhere-thanks Whitney!
LOL. I understand Zappa just fine, but somebody please translate my Mom for me. That's just disorienting. I have no idea what she's asking.
...Apparently though, Whitney answered her question.
first i have never heard of rock journalism--i seriously couldnt understand the sentence but Whitney broke it down for me in my language laugh on Lowie xo
Perhaps Zappa proved his own point by being utterly incomprehensible.
whitney, welcome to fingerpost. i get a kick out of zappa and admire his singular creativity. but of course i don't think humor is an appropriate motivation in naming people. save the funny names for your pets.
now you need to leave your two cents on wordforword
