So, one thing about FZ is that he seems to have had a pretty good handle on what music can be used for- the type of control it gives the wielder, the kinds of things it does to the wieldee.  I think he recognized that it is much more than a vehicle for propaganda, or a mindless way to pass the time, or even more than a way of life.  It's a synthesis of all those things, and it's the purest way to put oneself in opposition to the world.  You can phone it in, you can collect a paycheck and be a hack, you can play in a cover band, but you also have a chance to continually make art that is completely idiosyncratic, unique not just in concept but as an artifact in time.  Music is time, basically, the time of the beat, the period of oscillation of the frequencies involved, the time required to do the Fourier analysis, etc.  And because it's both ephemeral (live!) and eternal (written, recorded, traditional), what music offers is the possibility of time control, both backwards and forwards.  In other words, the Ultimate Subgenius Tool.  Oh, the Slackmanity!
