I liked disc one of Jose's Garage a lot more than the second. The first one seems to follow story rationally. The second, for starters, starts with in my mind the worse songs (didn't like "Keep It Greasey" on Fishman's Picks CD; that's why I wasn't looking forward to this album. Luckily, that's [easily] one of the worst songs) and a bit too much speculation on prison rape (or "plook" whatever.... hey, Zappa? I love you, but all the cracking up at your own jokes, leave that to Horatio Sanz... and "plook" is not a funny word, sorry).
Anyway, I'd summarize the second disk thusly:
1) prison rape set to bad funk
2) Zappa plays lots of solos (pretty good)
3) Zappa takes a most unfortunate, unnecessary, unfunny stab at rock critics in the middle of a rock opera for no reason (unless he was checking reviews to see if they got all the way through the album [it's safe to say that, by 1979, the ones who didn't like him wouldn't])
4) Zappa plays more solos (some of it great, some of it a bit close to soundtrack-album Knopflerisms for my liking, although I do like Knopfler)
5) they do a song about green rosetta after Zappa gives up on the concept
Having said all that, I like the album. The first disc is very good, the second has some cool solos... I can't get the "Crew Slut" chorus out of my mind... one of my better Xmass presents. I'm still not smokin' Newports, though.
I'm readin the Barry Miles - Zappa - book. I love the description of the filming of 200 Motels. This is how Zappa recruited Keith Moon for it: 1) at dinner next to Townshend and Moon, 2) leans over and said, "How'd you guys like to be in a film?" 3) Tells them to go to the Kensington Hotel the next day to film.
The old guy from A Hard Day's Night, Wilfred Bramble, was in the film until, after barrages of smut and filthy dialogue, he ran yelling from the set, never to return.
