“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” (Frank Zappa) – Comment

Oh my gosh, I have no clue for this statement. When I google for information on this topic I got to see he also has other funny quotes that don’t not make senses at all. He seriously needs someone to help him. I think Mr Frank Zappa is insulting the rock community and they are the ones that provide us with music. If I understand this statement correctly, I think he is saying all the people that are into rock they are useless and the fans are loss as they have no idea of what is going on the music industry. The whole world must laugh at this man. He is the one that is lost and us (the fans). Mr Zappa, if you want us to respect you than you must also respect us, the fans. Respect comes from both sides.

Being in a music industry is not easy as what you thing. It is very tough, that’s why you sometimes see an artist releasing one album in one year and the second one is release after three or four years. South Africa needs more Kwaito, Hip - Hop and Rock and Roll music.

Mr Zappa can say what ever he wants to say. He can use freedom of speech to his advantage. The sun won’t shine on him only but to everyone. Being famous does not mean you should hurt the fans through words. Let’s respect each other, Mr Zappa.
