Rumors of a snub

New page

== Sour grapes on Monterey Pop? ==

I've read some speculation such as the following:<blockquote>

Frank Zappa, was initially booked to perform with his groundbreaking group, The [[Mothers of Invention]]. But Zappa ''reportedly'' refused to appear alongside the festival’s many [[San Francisco]] bands, who he deemed inferior.[http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/sd-et-music-monterey-20170417-story.html](emphasis & links added)</blockquote>

I've seen this is a few places, but none of the sources appear reliable. This is the best source I could find, but author Varga mentions that this is just "reportedly". This sure sounds like sour grapes, so we should wait for a better source (if any) before putting this on the page.
