NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #304 ~ 03-19-22]

Pictured: Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention.

But it wasn’t just comedy or theatre; [Frank] Zappa was continuing the tradition of the Happening artists of the late fifties and early sixties: Red Grooms, Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg, Lucas Samaras and, most famously, Allan Kaprow. Kaprow wrote: ‘Not only will these bold creators show us, as if for the first time, the world we have always had about us but ignored, but they will disclose entirely unheard-of happenings and events, found in garbage cans, police files, hotel lobbies, seen in store windows and on the streets, and sensed in dreams and horrible accidents.’ If one had to situate Zappa in the canon of American twentieth-century art, this is where he belongs, along with the Happening artists and pop artists like Warhol, Rivers and Rauschenberg. Like them, Zappa responded to the banality of the world around him with sardonic humour. He preferred to express his bitterness through parody, rather than the righteous anger of Bob Dylan and the folk singers of the early sixties or the blind hatred of the heavy-metal brigade a decade later.

— Barry Miles, Frank Zappa.
