Zappa

My next post subject was not a challenge to come up with.  Since I had started talking about experimental rock, I thought I would use my next post to show one of the original artists of the genre.  This being non-other than Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.  The 1960s were changed by this band as their first album, Freak Out!, was one of rock musics first concept albums.  I chose this album as the one to write about for my blog.
I first came about this album last year when I was cleaning out my grandfathers house.  I found a box of old records which belonged to my deceased uncle.  As I filed through many of the bands I had never heard of, I came about Freak Out!  When I lugged this overly heavy milk crate full of records to my parents house, I took out the album and put it onto my parents record player.  I immediately fell in love with the satirical phrases and music throughout.  Remembering this day, I found the post to be another easy conquerable feat.
I followed suit of my last successful post and played the album while I wrote.  In doing this, I listened closer and discovered new aspects to the music that I passed over before.  I kept writing until I realized the time was nearing my bedtime, where I saved the song as a Word document.  What happened next was not a complete surprise to me.
When falling out of bed in the morning, and rolling over to my computer in turning it on a sick feeling came into my stomach.  I new something was wrong and I was right; my computer had crashed and I lost the post.  In retrospect, I should have known my computer would do something like this as it has become a common occurrence in the past 3 years I have owned the piece of junk.
Instead of getting angry, I decided my shower was not important that day and put on the album again.  I began to write, not as well as the previous night, but still good enough to get my stamp of approval.  In finishing the post, which I saved just about every 3 seconds, I immediately posted it online and ran to my car to get to school.
What I learned from this experience was to save early and often, and to not trust my computer which has proven time and time again that it has a vendetta for me and my school life.
