What fun is it to just say one’s age? Instead a story about a still-much loved album from my pothead days in college that you can deduce my age from.
In the beginning of my sophomore year, my dormmate had bought a Frank Zappa album that had come out the year before that he ended up hating, so much so that he sold it to me for a pittance just to recoup something from the expenditure.
On that album, “Studio Tan”, one particular track, “RDNZL”, stood out to me a shining example of Zappa’s amazing skill as a composer and musician. Mind you, this piece is a bit of a amalgum of genres and pacing, so it’s not suited for most casual listeners. But if you like excellent musicianship and intensely playful instrumental styling, check it out.
