Oh the irony of debating slurs in a Zappa thread.



Anyway, dying on the hill that you *should* be able to say Slur X because it’s not as offensive as people think or because you don’t mean it in terms of its conventionally understood usage just sort of highlights your lack of empathy and social astuteness imho.

[2] This, forever. Some words have meaning irrespective of intent, and the use of language that you know at the very least has the chance to upset others is reckless at best.

It's a great album, but a boring choice for favorite since it lacks a lot of Zappa's signature tells in favor of a more straightforward commercial approach



4th favorite still tho

I remember Willie the Pimp from my dad playing it. The bass is nice and the melody pleasant

This was a lot better than hearing it as a kid. My dad would pick rhe worst times to introduce me to music. Namely driving me to school when i would be like 9 years old and give a verbal expose on the music while it played all the while im 9 and just woke up and have to go to school. Lol
