They must not have enough raving antisemitic nutbag writers in Britain, because they had to go to the US to get Justin Raimondo to excrete another one of his creepy articles for the Guardian; he’s a Ron Paul fan, of course: The case for a Ron Paul presidency. (Hat tip: Beagle.)
Interviewer: The notion of a "guitar solo" has preconceptions based on it; people automatically refute it because it's supposed to be self-indulgent or "for musicians." It's almost like things become iconographic and somehow lose their value for outsiders.
Zappa: Well, whose fault is that? That's what writers do. Musicians don't do that. The average person doesn't sit around thinking about the "iconographic problems of a guitar solo." -- Interview for Musician magazine, by Matt Resnicoff, November 1991. Reprinted in July 1995 Issue.
