Bob Dobbs

Bob Dobbs, renegade McLuhan scholar and longtime Frank Zappa archivist, shares vivid recollections and rare anecdotes. He explores Zappa’s improvisational reinventions, multimedia Project/Object ideas, xenocrony and synchronicity, lyrical instrumentation as sonic texture, and Zappa’s role as an anthropologist of media. The conversation ranges from bootlegs and live tactility to playful anti-doctrine messages.
