Tilting at Windmills by Rachel Cervantes. The Life of Re: Re-inventing, Re-working, Re-thinking, Etc. October 4, 2013. Right now, I’m not sure what my focus will be. I will probably reflect on everyday life as experienced by a middle-aged woman with Parkinson’s disease. Yup, me, Michael J, Fox, Janet Reno, Linda Ronstadt, and many many other people shake things up in our own special way. Well, enough for now. We shall see what happens.

Insomnia | Tilting at Windmills by Rachel Cervantes
https://rachelcervantes.wordpress.com/2013/10/04/737
Tilting at Windmills by Rachel Cervantes. October 4, 2013. Most Parkies (people with Parkinson’s – also called PWPs) are familiar with insomnia. It’s mild for some people, and for others (me! Tremor is probably the most well-known symptom of Parkinson’s, but there are many more. For me, it’s the least bothersome. Insomnia is one of the two I hate most. (Regarding the other one, I will only say I eat lots of raw fruits and veggies.). Oh, the computer tells me it’s just after five. In a little while I’...

Frank Zappa's Revenge: You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1
http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/you-cant-do-that-on-stage-anymore-vol-1.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Sunday, December 13, 2009. You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1. With all that recording going on during the 1981 Halloween shows at the Palladium. Some of that material was bound to be released by Zappa. What was a bit strange, perhaps, was how long it took for the material to be published, and the form it took. In 1984, portions of the concert appeared on the video “ The Dub Room Special. Some of the more interesting...

Frank Zappa's Revenge: The Ahoy, Rotterdam, May 24, 1980
http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/05/ahoy-rotterdam-may-24-1980.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Monday, May 25, 2009. The Ahoy, Rotterdam, May 24, 1980. This little gem I recently stumbled upon and was delighted at the sound quality, given that it is a bootleg. This was taken from a Dutch FM radio program, and, as it is with many bootlegs, appeared on the market in a variety of forms, often with erroneous information. Zappa writes in his autobiography. Knowing the complexity of his work, Zappa demurred, saying that he...

Frank Zappa's Revenge: Just Another Band From L.A.
http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2008/11/just-another-band-from-la.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Just Another Band From L.A. Much of the material released during the Flo and Eddie years was criticized for being juvenile toilet humor. Some refer to many of the compositions as “stupid stories.” And others proclaim that it just isn’t funny. Zappa was well aware of this and his response was, “So what? 8217;s hit, “ Smoke on the Water. 8221; viewed by many as a parody of the rock opera genre that ...

Frank Zappa's Revenge: Uncle Meat
http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/02/uncle-meat.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Whenever I think of the double-album recording “Uncle Meat,” two things immediately come to mind: the extraordinary composition “King Kong,” and the thought, “What is this monster movie garbage? The conversations in “ Lumpy Gravy. 8221; fit well into the overall composition of that album, but the dialogue from “Uncle Meat” sounds beyond trivial and mundane. The structure was originally built for...

Frank Zappa's Revenge: Zappa in New York
http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/05/zappa-in-new-york.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Sunday, May 17, 2009. Zappa in New York. The 1978 live recording “Zappa in New York” is a good example of how Zappa wove outside influences into his music, as well as a prime example of how easy it can be to over-read inferences into his material. Case in point: the first track on the release, “Titties and Beer.”. The discussion on this song at the Web site Arf. 8221; and “ Just Another Band From L.A. Let’s recall the...

http://frankzappasrevenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/captain-beefheart-jan-15-1941-dec-17.html
Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Sunday, December 19, 2010. Captain Beefheart, Jan. 15, 1941 – Dec. 17, 2010. Their relationship was an amazing collaborative effort that goes back to their high school days; it was also an at times awkward and strained relationship that, based on some key comments made individually by each, hit patches of mutual alienation. 8220;Life on the road with Captain Beefheart was definitely not easy … The last time I saw Don ...

Reviews and commentary on recordings of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Saturday, December 6, 2008. You know right away with the opening guitar riffs of “Transylvania Boogie” that “Chunga’s Revenge” is gonna be a keeper! 8221; “ 200 Motels. 8221; and “ Just Another Band From L.A. Yet, like so many other Zappa releases, the “experts” didn’t like it. In his 1970 review of the album for Rolling Stone, Lester Bangs. Was Frank copping an attitude toward his listeners? Are positive, but in different ...
