Central Scrutinizer:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song . . . He begins to feel depressed now. He knows the end is near. He has realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the imagination of The Imaginer . . . and . . . ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway? . . . So . . . So . . . Excuse me . . . Ha ha ha! Mm-mh . . . So . . . Ha ha ha . . . Ha ha ha! Who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo . . .
[solo]

but all up, the guitar in this is excellent, beyond excellent actually
for all its silliness i think the core of "Joe's Garage" as an album are Packard Goose and Watermelon. he wrote the song years before he died but i think with these two songs he really made it clear how he felt about the music/entertainment industry and to a greater extent society as a whole. he was at times a very cold and distant person from the number of bios ive read and was def. hard to deal with as many geniuses (genii? haha)tend to be. Kinda of related to your vision when you hear the song i always imagine him alone like the character Joe and literally playing his last guitar solo...
there's alot of things i dont agree personally about Frank Zappa but there is no doubting that the man was a true original. an innovator with his talent and apptitude come around very very rarely and this song is testimony to his genius.
To me, this song also has a very sad feeling to it. Almost as if you were actually watching Frank walk away into a field of some sort, kinda strolling away, looking back at everyone, and just kinda silently, saying "It's been an amazing ride, thanks for the memories, but it's my time to go." And that really sucks, because I, as well as millions of others, wish that he'd lived to be much older and continue to see what came out of his "genious" musical mind.
Wow, I'm freaking bummed out now!!! Damn!! lol
This is an amazing song. When I was younger and I couldn't sleep my dad would tell me to put this song on. It's so relaxing and beautiful.
