Zappa was a genius, there's no doubt.
One of my own heroes is Billy Connoly, who has a trained eye for observing - and lampooning - the ridiculous.
He's been a Zappa fan for many years, often saying "If they voted that man president, I'd emigrate to the States" and was utterly dumbfounded when Zappa's wife said:
"You're Billy Connoly! My husband always thought you were his favorite comedian".
That is praise indeed.
