"down in Joe's Garage / we didn't have no dope or LSD / but a coupl of quarts of beer / would fix it so the intonations / would not offend your ear"

[@timfeeley714-25]

Greatest rock opera ever! "Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST" - F.Z.

This album is so full of details, funny things, absolutely a masterpice. This is the one Zappa album i have listened to most, and it takes many many times to Get it all…. I enjoy these videos of yours!

[@barbastathisr]

Finally, a music lover who understands that this is an album you have to listen all of it, in a row.

[@jimdandrea9307]

Yes, like Shakespeare is to be experienced as a play, Joe's garage is sides of an album.

[@andremartin5446]

First Zappa album I bought, and to this day, still my favorite!!

[@gablen23]

Maybe the funniest Zappa-record, and my favorite for sure.

[@labird1994]

Thanks Rory! I can tell the message I sent you about reacting to this album resonated with you. If you think side 1 act 1 pushes boundaries, you ain't heard nothing yet. This album came out after he escaped WB and the whole corporate censorship machine, so he was finally able to drop the euphemisms and just say what he wanted, no matter how crude. Catholic Girls is mild compared to what is coming, it is quite a ride you just started, strap in tight, the rest of this magnum opus is amazing. Oh, and the few songs you have heard will hit harder when you hear them in the context of the story. Thanks again for taking on this album!

Vee-dee Vow-dee Voo-dee, right away!

[@alldayadventures5418]

COOL, COOL, COOL, COOL One of the best Rock Operas ever made. The adventures of Mary and Joe and a bunch of nasty twists and turns in the story. Side 2 has "On the Bus" which is a great instrumental. Lucile finishes that side and it is a great great tune. "Keep it Greasy" is a shocking tune.! MUST WATCH Joe's garage the Musicale done in 1998 by a college group. Find it on You Tube, crappy video, but worth the view.

[@rustycamaro]

This is the only cd set I keep in my car.

[@Ferretbomber]

i have some funny memories of sitting friends down and making them listen to this album. In a way, it was a knitting circle version of your channel, ha. Thanks for the reaction, it's a crazy album for sure.

[@GoodCorporateRobot]

Rory keep in mind that this entire production is Frank’s take on the consequences of censorship. Frank somehow always manages to turn a political statement into an epic album or opera such as this. Another thing that I think is noteworthy and criminally underrated is Frank’s genius ability as a producer. He sat at the mixer for almost everything, carefully crafting every sound. Lastly, the next song, Fembot in a Wet T-Shirt is one of my favorites from Joes Garage. Looking forward to the rest of this! Thank you!

[@yodel_diploma2315]

In Germany they could arrest for having too much fun lol!

[@brucepieroni9102]

This opera is about CENSORSHIP!

[@jessem470]

Yes

[@fastnbulbouss]

By the way, the harmonica on Crew Slut is played by Craig Steward.... Craig "Twister" Steward, who has played with some of the greatest musicians of our time and has been described as the "Hendrix of the Harp," was amazingly discovered by Frank Zappa whilst performing in Wichita, Kansas. Frank was quoted as saying, "He (Craig Steward) sounds like Coltrane on the harmonica. And I mean fast like you won't believe. This guy is like the Al DiMeola of the harmonica." 😎

[@sodncbsjiufdnznnc]

Great album.

[@jessem470]

Yes ! Finally Thank You , Thank You I think i have asked for this from when you started to review Zappa

[@gilbertgiuliani.4452]

It was a comentary on what if you lived in a country where music was illegal

[@ManuMasson]

Don’t you boys know any nice songs? 😄

[@richardwirt3193]

Cool just seeing this at 6:30 pm eastern USA time

[@pascalsimon9780]

Thanks Rory, one more FZ bijou...

[@barrywilson1294]

When the first album came out I remember thinking Why Does It Hurt When I Pee was definitely making fun of Toto.

[@mgordon1100]

Can you explain this to me? I'm familiar with Toto's more popular music, and this song doesn't sound similar to me at all.

[@barrywilson1294]

@@mgordon1100 At that time there was only the album Toto released in 78. Most people knew the main hit number from the album Hold the Line. I owned the album. But Ike’s vocals and Zappa’s arrangement reminded me of some of Toto’s more symphonic arrangements from that album. Add to that the fact that the central scrutinizer mentioned Toto.

[@mgordon1100]

@barrywilson1294 Barry, the band's name is Toad-O. No doubt that's it's a play on Toto, which is interesting in itself for Frank to give reference to such a new band on the scene. I do understand how popular Hold The Line was. I have the Toto album here in the car. I'll give it a closer listen with Frank's "...Pee" in mind.

[@chrismonroe8582]

Great to hear you getting to what was one of my high school favorites. To your ponderance of Frank jabbing Catholics stems from his disgust over the religious right ceaselessly trying to take over the country. They're still at it sad to say

[@joelheberlein9740]

Rory, stop stepping on the drop dude.😊
