Dweezil Zappa Plays whatever the f@%k he wants!
Frank Zappa’s son continues the crusade to share his father’s musical legacy
There is a bittersweet pall over the celebration of the late Frank Zappa’s official 50th anniversary as a major recording artist. The Zappa Family Trust has crumbled into chaos and bad blood.
Nevertheless, firstborn son Dweezil continues the crusade to share his father’s incredible musical legacy with the world, and is honoring the seminal 1966 release Freak Out with a show at Variety Playhouse on Mon., Nov. 7. An amalgam of hard rock, doo-wop, and brief classical pieces, the genre destroying Freak Out laid the blueprint for Zappa’s future directions. And in the words of Frank’s “The way I see it, Barry” from 1968’s Lumpy Gravy, “This should be a very dynamite show!”
$37.50-$40 8 p.m. Mon. Nov 7. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. S.E. 404-524-7354. www.variety-playhouse.com.
