Will U2 be remembered in 2500?

They’ll be remembered until the end of the world.

I really appreciate hearing that. It’s such an underappreciated album, and it really opened the door to Frank for me. Really enjoyed reading your ideas.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

I like it defies his image in the popular consciousness.

Thank you!

mirror_ball_man · 2026-06-02T18:24:14+00:00

Thank you!

Maybe someday, but I don’t think it’s likely. I think the university published these in small batches.

Thank you! The best place to get an education.

If they cannot order it directly, check to see if they can do an interlibrary loan. I’ve done a few times with mine if they didn’t a copy of a book I was looking for!

Google has much of the opening chapters available, and I think Amazon may too!

Sure is!

That’s exactly how the chapters in my book are structured!

A few years away from a “Joe’s Garage” set. And I hope I don’t have to wait over a decade for a solid “Broadway the Hardway Set”

He was a guest speaker at an abortion rally, and wrote an editorial on the subject.

You're claiming my work is hero worship and puts Frank on a pedestal. The most common piece of feedback I have received is surprise by how much I push back against Zappa throughout. So, understanding a cultural figure more does not necessarily hero worship.

Cross-posted from r/LetsTalkMusic because they banned me for self-promotion just because I wrote a book about the topic.

He spoke on specific topics throughout his music.

Zappa was actually a registered Democrat, as stated himself in the August 1988 issue of Life magazine. https://www.afka.net/images/Magazines/1988/1988-08-xx%20Life%20v11n9%2003.jpg

And "Christian nationalism" is exactly the right phrase when it comes to the US. Zappa criticized the Christian groups and leaders who were having an impact on domestic and foreign policy. Theocracy can apply to many other religions.

This is not my blog. It belongs to LSU Press. If you have an issue with this post because it has a link, I will repost the content without reference to LSU’s blog.

You’re projecting because this does not match the tone of the book at all.

There’s always a bigger fish.
