Fifteen years after his death he's still ahead of his time. Frank truly had the gift of foresight :) But more importantly, Frank usually spoke his mind. And he didn't fear the repercussions of his boldness.
I'm quite sure he had no thoughts of replacement of those currencies with the Euro or Amero. He made a disparaging comparison by saying that the Rubel and the Dollar were both worth NOTHING as they were not backed by gold. The Euro and the Amero are valueless in the same way. I'm sure he understood that a nations currency must be attached to something of value to protect it's value, and to protect the people from the banks. He was pretty smart.
‘George’s Piss Police’! Lol...but also chillingly prescient now we’re faced with being compulsorily vaccinated and denied basic freedoms if we refuse 😔
Great interview. Didn't really know how intelligent, sharp and well spoken this man was. He really could see the future. Thanks for uploading!
This is such an interesting side of FZ, one that isn't well-known even among fans. Thanks for sharing!
Zappa was a great forward thinking of the box man, and that reflected in his music, which I'm glad is left to enjoy.
brilliant man.

Holy sh*t, that breakdown of currency conversion in international business was so sharp I'm bleeding.
Good phone calls and great interview.

Pushing the Guitar album was a nice bit of savvy marketing.
What a smart man Frank was...

The thing about the environment was really quite starteling, in some ways truly ahead of his time.
A lot of calls from Florida I noticed.
frank on fire. His line about giving lsd to yuppies was one for the ages...
The Russians were wining and dining Frank. Perhaps he’d be an Oliver Stone type or a Steven Seagal type if he were alive today.
I don’t get it what was frank trying to sell in Russia
9:05 So far, after watching many dozens of zappa's interviews this seems like the only thing frank predicted inccorectly
lol i live in cliffside
