Almost everybody knows, or has an image of Frank Zappa in their head, but I bet you most people could name maybe one song out of the 70 records that guy put out.
Marc Maron said the above whilst record shopping with the fine folks at AV Club. Maron’s a very astute dude and few things he’s said have been more spot-on than that. Maron’s ex-girlfriend’s dad was an extrmeemly prolific artist and a personality on which so many things hang, but how many of us know his music?
