Frank Zappa's music is known for its intricate compositions, satirical lyrics, and iconoclastic viewpoints. He frequently used his music to critique societal norms, political institutions, and mainstream culture, often employing humor and absurdity to make his points. He fought for freedom of speech, self-education, and political participation, while also opposing censorship and recreational drug use. In this episode, author Bradley Morgan explores Zappa's messaging through song.
