Amen to what he's saying about the unions. David Gilmour had scheduled a concert in Montreal for his On An Island tour but had to cancel it due to disputes with the local unions.
This video's descriptions answered a lot of my questions and thoughts from my previous comment on your other video with Kelly Lange's from 1980. Thank you so much koolstrike for this! Keep up!
@kurtizzyflush Ooh. I'll have to go digging. It was reported heavily in our local media at the time. They'd originally announced Montreal, Toronto, NYC as the three spots for the tour, and then Montreal got cancelled.
A unique interview - the only one to feature the anecdote of his discovery of his younger brother's "kind-of" sexual abuse, which I think sheds light on certain controversial lyrics (circa 1976, get the drift?) and on the real reasons behind his own delinquent behavior (e.g the "explosions on parents' evening" incident - revenge on the teachers who wouldn't go to the defence his brother?)
‘know what fuck it I’m just gonna come right out I’m exactly like Frank Zappa I have his story except for the incident he mentioned. I’m in hs help, I’m drowning in drama.
Interesting, Zappa type one each, Frank's so called music irritates my ears and annoys my mind. I would expect music to sooth my ears and instill motion in my soul. Frank developed a knack to compose sounds that only the mentally deranged can appreciate. His accomplishments demonstrate his evil master mind of the strange kind, a legend to lost souls with troubled minds.
***** Its like this, the people I knew that paid money for Zappa records back in the 1970's thought Zappa made their collection more valuable. I for one differ, I worked way to hard for my money to give it up to the likes of Zappa. Zappa worked hard to keep his recordings from getting played by radio stations so the only way to hear Zappa is to buy Zappa. To me that was Zappa's legacy, collecting money from record collectors. As far as music goes I call it like I hear it and Zappa is "NOISE POLLUTION."
Tony Iocca Why, if you so dislike Zappa, do you view all the RUclips videos and post that ridiculous, moronic, unfounded comment each time? Your reply to +cooter92065 is at least your opinion & views on said topic.
Well, you cant appretuate his music beacuse of two reasons: 1. You doesnt know anything about rythm and complexity. 2. You dont like his kind of music. You dont have to be a lost soul to like his music, you have to know something about music so that you can see the complexity and also sort the complex notes. You cant like something you cant hear and you cant hear his brilliance. Go back to listening to something made for braindeads like House or Dubstep and leave the brilliance to the people who understands it.

This man had a gun for a tongue and was constantly firing shots at the sad reality that is our society. RIP Zappa, you utter legend
Don’t worry there are some born like him.. ;)
Excellent interview! Love the person asking the questions, she does a better job than 90% of the zappa interviews iv seen on youtube
This is an absolute gem!
Thanks for saving and posting this!
more, please.
Frank was hitting nail right on the head!
Thanks for posting!
Would have loved to meet him one day...
Thank you so much for sharing this! I recently decided that i need to read his work, and this is a good start for me.
Thank YOU! What a gem..best FZ long interview I've seen.
@koolstrike you are fighting the good fight man, thank you so much for this interview!
Frank had it all... brilliance, talent , wit, candor and big hairy Italian balls.
This video's descriptions answered a lot of my questions and thoughts from my previous comment on your other video with Kelly Lange's from 1980. Thank you so much koolstrike for this! Keep up!
I have some Zappa interviews in storage, and should take them out sometime.
awesome zappa, awesome interviewer and awesome koolstrike for uploading this stuff. thanks and keep it up!!
Point after point. He’s not wrong, but he’s the right type of arrogant. This guy should be everyone’s motto
Frank owes we a concert in the afterlife. The production manage F.U. his performance. See you in nirvana Frank.
This is Hot Poop!
Really great post!
ARF.
I don't wanna go down!

This is word for word from his book..before he wrote it !
i wonder if FZ would ever know these words would echo infinitely on the internet 30 years later
Gold absolute gold... better than that.

Zappa was the best
fz is right and it still goes on and on
press 1 to hear the barking pumpkin!
I was a friend of Sandi Freeman's son when I was a kid. We used to burn models in the backyard while she drank vodka all day. Good times.
@shaynegryn Link to the Gilmour story?
Be sure to digest the full interview.
Any reference Frank makes to the states is sadly encompassing the whole planet.
Dumb rules!
My rule model
He was a good spook.
financial freedom? what's that?
‘know what fuck it I’m just gonna come right out I’m exactly like Frank Zappa I have his story except for the incident he mentioned. I’m in hs help, I’m drowning in drama.
Was this interview conducted in the corner of the studio canteen?
The insurance companies in the doctors that make medical so miserable. Such a shame the doctors killed him.
'67? Freak Out came out in '65. Oh, the days before the internet when fact checking required giving a shit...
Actually....."FREAKOUT" came out in 1966! ❄😅❄
Frank was 100% right about unions. Look what's happening in the public sector unions now.
PLAIN SPOKEN HONESTY IS REFRESHING TO SOME, AND FRIGHTENING TO OTHERS. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
What's with all the talking in the background? Show some respect!
Boo, Zappa, you are dead wrong about Unions and their benefits to society.

Anyway....the wind blows.
Tony Iocca Most music I have discovered and enjoyed was without the assistance of commercial radio.
Well, you cant appretuate his music beacuse of two reasons:
1. You doesnt know anything about rythm and complexity.
2. You dont like his kind of music.
You dont have to be a lost soul to like his music, you have to know something about music so that you can see the complexity and also sort the complex notes. You cant like something you cant hear and you cant hear his brilliance.
