Eye on Artists Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention
An Artist I like a lot who was big into goofy anti consumerism stuff is Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, perhaps you have heard the commons sense song "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow."
Another song about the complexities of the human condition is "Joe's Garage" that discusses playing in a band and the socialization process.
One time a Navy Band surpised the band and Frank at an airport, the cover is almost as good if not better than done by Frank himself.
Zappa also made fun of President Nixon with "Dickies Such an Asshole"
Zazppa also told stories of "Jewish Princess"
Or tales of relatives like "Uncle Remus"
Or tales of disgusting creations like "Let's Make the Water Turn Black"
"What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body " also talks about things people might be self conscious of
Though Zappa was usually joking around, "Plastic People " talks about this nonsense society and the in group and out group identificiation process.
Zappa was not just an interesting vocalists. His guitar solos could be major, one of my favorites is discussing a mystery man in "Cosmik Debris"
My favorite Zappa song is "I'm the Slime" I think it does a good job discussing the human condition post invention of the attention sucking screen. The rays of light and sounds provide a way to eat up people's conscious waking times with consumerist identities and perhaps other stuff.

By many, Zappa has been totally unheard of and, in itself, underlines the necessity for this post to be written and expanded upon. This extremely fierce artist has huge talents and provides for serious experiences, for the unabashed and courageous listeners...
Thanks a lot for this little post, well needed. Namaste :)
Thanks for your ideas, glad you have been able to enjoy Frank and friend's talents!! Hope the weekend is going well bud!
