    ▓        Of all of Frank Zappa's discography, Thing-Fish must         ▓
    ▓        be his most controversial, misunderstood, overlooked         ▓
    ▓        album. Obviously, it is not a masterpiece, but               ▓
    ▓        reducing it to a compilation album with a racist plot        ▓
    ▓        distorts the reality. First released as a three-LP           ▓
    ▓        set (and reissued on two CDs), this album is the             ▓
    ▓        "original cast recording" of a never-produced                ▓
    ▓        Broadway show. Working-class joes have been mutated          ▓
    ▓        into potato-headed, duck-mouthed creatures by a              ▓
    ▓        government experiment gone wrong. They put up a              ▓
    ▓        Broadway musical in which reality and fiction become         ▓
    ▓        one for two members of the audience. The main                ▓
    ▓        character, Thing-Fish, is played by Ike Willis. His          ▓
    ▓        thick caricatured Negro accent is directly taken from        ▓
    ▓        Amos 'n' Andy's King Fish character. Zappa's                 ▓
    ▓        intention was not to mock African Americans, but to          ▓
    ▓        ridicule the way they are depicted on Broadway,              ▓
    ▓        mainly a white male-dominated milieu. Harry and              ▓
    ▓        Rhonda, the two audience members drawn into the story        ▓
    ▓        by force, are played by Terry Bozzio and Dale Bozzio.        ▓
    ▓        Harry will realize he is gay, Rhonda will turn into a        ▓
    ▓        briefcase fetishist. Zappa exaggerates the yuppie            ▓
    ▓        trends of the mid-'80s (Harry is gay for "career             ▓
    ▓        purposes"; Rhonda embodies the ultra-feminist) and           ▓
    ▓        slips into the plot concerns about the spread of AIDS        ▓
    ▓        being the result of governmental scientific                  ▓
    ▓        experiments. It's crazy, offensive, barely holding           ▓
    ▓        together, but it sure is entertaining. To accommodate        ▓
    ▓        the plot, Zappa wrote a couple of new songs and              ▓
    ▓        re-recorded a handful of tracks from Zoot Allures,           ▓
    ▓        You Are What You Is, Tinsel-Town Rebellion, and Ship         ▓
    ▓        Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch with new          ▓
    ▓        lyrics. It is definitely for the seasoned fan (the           ▓
    ▓        conceptual continuity clues make an integral part of         ▓
    ▓        the experience), but more than rehashed material.            ▓
