On Freaking out

something we here in our final days at the rancho do allot of -- as defined by none other than Frank Zappa -

"On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole." Zappa's liner notes for 'Freak Out'

Now, we really think about it as some form of breakdown that comes due to trauma from social structures and the world around us whereby one sits in their empty shack in nothing more than a pair of mossy-oak sweatpants whilst sucking down mate'n AMP meanwhile huffing and puffing on a client deliverable. well.

HEY, if ole Frank thought it was a good thing, far be it from me to say he is wrong. Here are some more quotes by Frank and here's my favorite of the bunch:

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre."
