Hi folks, First time poster here. I think the quote about "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" might have been a Frank Zappa quote... it sounds like the kinda thing he'd say about "the imaginary journalistic profession", and I'm pretty sure I've seen an interview where he uses it.
As a musician and occasional journalist (I interviewed Karen O'Brien in late December here in NZ for a local broadsheet) it's one of my favourite quotes - although, yes, I must admit it also has a Nietzschean ring to it. Speaking of FZ, I have a hundred or so 'audience recordings', but not the one where Joni joined the group onstage at the Fillmore in 70 or 71. Does anyone on the list have it? I believe she improvised a song/poem including the words "Penelope wants to fuck the sea"...with Zappa conducting the Mothers of Invention behind her. Cheers, Tom Rodwell Auckland New Zealand
