I began listening to his music in the 80's and I still enjoy it, but that is one of the smartest minute and twenty five seconds I've ever heard. I wish someone had told me that when I was 14, at the age when little things can make a big difference. Losing him so early was a big loss for the entire culture.

"The more you know, the less you like it." A-fucking-men, brother.

Now you need to be dumb and have a license to do anything.

As a beer drinking sports watcher, I feel attacked

Intelligent people are deemed enemies of the state in America. Look at Trump's appointments. He's on a revenge mission and he'll end up locking up those he sees as a threat... like putin and kim. Fascist theocracy is what you idiots voted for. More households in America have seen guns than books.

When they made Frank Zappa, they broke the mold--or as Zappa might say, they threw away the shovel!

Omg, where was this interview when I was a kid,,,1974 ish…..I remember being in the mentally gifted minors, ,,, i was way smarter than my friends,,,,,,but,,, I really wanted to fit in…. Dammit. I needed to hear this in 74. Big fan. As a senior i submitted Dyna Moe hum to my poetry teacher in 79,,, Much Love Frank.

Music on the "Rock Stars" level is a total joke!Nothing but government music.

What Carlin never realized, is he can form his own opinion BECAUSE he is an American.

It's worse than the 1950's now. Zappa was a genius but never had a kind word for other guitarists. 😢

Thanks, only one Frank Zappa !

never in my life heard such honesty

Except he wasn't....or talented.

Brilliant.

"Anybody who had an IQ over 28, let's say, people would say was probably a threat to the community." Well, then I can proudly say I was never a threat to anybody.

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this by Frank Zappa 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RUclips. 😀

Ya GOTTA Love this Man!! If not for his Fantastic Legacy of Music, then, for his Honesty!! Like Great Movies, ya gotta hear Frank's Albums a Couple times to Appreciate & Marvel at & for his work!! A True Genius!!

Beautiful.

lol..love Frank...but obviously he can't skate..or he'd love hockey..you can legally kick someones ass..cuss and swear..stink and sweat like a hard boiled hog..and shake hands afterwards..pure genius..lol....RIP Frank

Thats how I always felt about sports. Whether a grown man catches a ball or doesn't has no impact in my life whatsoever. Perhaps if i was betting, but i never bet

I 100% understand when he talks about acting dumb for other people.

"And, ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway" The Central Scrutinizer (Joe's Garage, acts I, II and III)

It's okay to be smart, it helps you make up stupid excuses for your personal health choices.

They say “ignorance is bliss” for a reason.

nah you got to play dumb socially, people won't like you and everybody wants to be liked/loved (I think). Either be the jester, find people like you(they are rare) or stay alone.

I don't like the suggestion that if I sit in front of the TV, drink beer, and watch hockey, that I'm dumb. Go Wings!

I would never call myself intelligent, but others have certainly said I was. However, I've never tried to play dumber than I am, just to maintain friendships. And consequently, I've never been popular or had a lot of friends. So the question is: would I be happier if I pretended to be dumb enough to watch TV and drink beer all day? I'd still be alone, but I'd be free from the pressures of having to perform...

It's not ok to be cruel

Tragic that this is still extremely relevant today!

Great Googly Moogly! Tell them Frank! ✌&💞

It's okay to be smart but being proud of yourself for it will kill you.

True words.

The Z nipped it in the bud.

truth

Frank Zappa was the second coming....

😂😊👍

110%

True. When you’re intelligent you find yourself alone, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

One shouldn't be ashamed of being unintelligent _if_ they're doing what they reasonably can to work past that limitation, but ignorance and stupidity have myriad consequences and should not merely be accepted, especially when the stupid have the same voting power as the intelligent.

FZ was a genius in his own time era and beyond.

"A lot of people who were born smart pretend to be dumb so that they can have friends." Wow.

AMAZING.

Cool 😎

He would hate living in the 2020s....

I needed this video, I can tell me and Zappa are similar mindset.

Zappa lives!!!

To recognize other "smart" people and distance yourself from hokey, so to speak, intelligence is needed indeed. But to accept "dumb" people enjoing hokey and even participate in such beer drinking activity takes other kind of muscle, which is capable to.., "Freak Out!". Nice combo, Mr. Zappa

i really need to hear that becuase when you have everything you feel like you need more and dont even realize what u already have

🤯

If only he would have lived to wipe the streets with Jordan Peterson. That would've been a very finite debate.
