As silly as some believe the album to be it transverses philisophical discussions and is zappas most personal..Yellow snow covers zappa's troubles with censorship and lack of commercial potential...other tracks are ruthleass in exposing catholic sexual practices...cosmic debris does not excuse the weak easterm philosophies that have been injected into the west such as astrolgy and meditation with guru culture copping a zappa scorn fest... Finally Zappa looks across his conceptual continuity as he discusses his ideas with Fido(phaedo)and pours into how he creates musical fractals with ideas repeating across the whole gammut of zappas universe...This is why it is titled apostrophe as little known is the meaning of the word can be a digression both in ideas both in thought and musical.noun. The direct address of an absent or imaginary person or of a personified abstraction, especially as a digression in the course of a speech or composition. Origin of apostrophe. Late Latin apostrophē from Greek from apostrephein to turn away ; see apostrophe 1. Zappa is artful in this album with plenty to hear and unravel...good songs and some serious music.
