First post here, so hey everybody. The Zappa fans I know are all music "smart" They play/played instruments, and "get" his musical Tom Foolery. Bela Fleck is similar, as are Fripp w/King Crimson, they will insert chunks of songs into the middle of other songs, change to different times, play things backwards, most of which, if you don't recognize what they're doing, just doesn't sound "right". I'm one of those who it doesn't sound right to, I've tried embracing all the bands I mentioned with no luck, I just don't "get it"
