Negative Dialectics--2nd try

: The author's point is that Zappa's music, though underpinned by a petit-bourgeois belief in cottage-industry economics, is "just as much part of a protest against the divisions of capitalist society as the music of Charlie Parker or Kurt Weill" (p. xvi).

Can't say I was too convinced by my reading. Was Charlie Parker and Kurt Weill really against the social division of labor?---or were they just bohemian dilettantes? See my post about The Artist as Ideology for further explication.
