@@mumbolina Thank you Mumbolina. I presume you refer to the original version published in 2011. There is a new version out in Europe now though America doesn't get copies for another six weeks. I am presently promoting it.
I started listening to Zappa in 66. Followed him right up to Jazz from Hell, which it was…. Still it was kinda hard not to take “ broken hearts are for assholes “ personally. I figure if you listen to Zappa long enough he’ll get around to you. No doubting the man’s genius, but perhaps not the most compassionate individual… if you’re into that kind of thing.
Thanks for that clip, another little gem. I like the interviewer, she seems genuine. "Oh, I could have gone on for hours" - every man needs a woman like that.😉
Really enjoyed this interview. I saw the Mothers at Cobo Hall, on a double billing with John McLaughlin. Frank Zappa vs John McLaughlin, Jean-Luc Ponty vs Jerry Goodman. Imagine that. I like Hot Rats and Waka Jawaka. He made many other albums, but those two are favorites of mine.
Frank in a suit. He did testify to congress back then when they were putting parental warning stickers on certain albums for adult language. And he was doing cultural ambassador stuff like he said during the cold war The Czech prez was a playwrite and knew Frank. He was popular behind the iron curtain. Has a statue in Lithuania!
Big , big fan here , but one thing i didn't like about Fank was his massive cynicism on so many things. i m cynical too, but he had no hope for just about everything it seems . i still wonder if that jail time he had in the early 60's for being busted for a small thing like making a sex noise tape started that all. i can see how it would but he was so down on having any positive views on most subjects. Also , didn't like that any new form of Rock came out he seemed to put it down ,: Punk ,new wave, synth bands, ect.....
Im 27 Mr zappa, belive me, your music lives on and you are remembered!! Muffin maaan!!!!
She was quite sweet, wasn't she, and he was just as ever, accommodating and straight down the line.
loved your book Pauline

I always feel like I've done something wrong after listening to a Frank Zappa interview.
Me too!
🤣
It’s called free thinking. Trust me you’ll love it.

LOL
Wow! is she like the nicest interviewer ever or what?
That was my view, too, so sweet. And he called her kid at the end, a little condescending but I suppose he was trying to be nice.
@@paulinebutcherbird "Kip". He called her Kip. Mustve been her name/nickname.
@@jeans2tite That makes sense. I mis-heard but I often mis-heard Frank Zappa because his voice was so quiet.
Peppy AF
I wish you folks (in the description) would state where the clips come from. Like what news program, tv show.

i remember sitting in the front row at one of his concerts. it was an amazing show. :)

1989 Frank looks like he was tipping his influence to political ambitions..! 😏 Such an intelligent MAN.! RIP.🤲🏿🙏🏿

@JG - He was actually planning to run for President up until his cancer diagnosis.
That's right funny how times flys and memories fade...I should have remembered..🤔 Cheers from Newport Beach, CA. 🌊🤙🏿
People will remember Frank and his music forever. The Michelangelo of music!
'I made my wife get a licence...'
That is a really, really good book.
Just don't get it!- why the SUIT!
It can't happen here.
Peppy chick
I was just as bewildered as Zappa was on hearing the 1st question.
Saw Zappa in late 70s. Amazing musicians and guitars!!!

Given where the world has gone in the last thirty years, I'm beginning to think Frank Zappa was too optimistic.
New to me!.interesting clip
And here we are today….
How arrogant
You?
Who's arrogant?
I'm arrogant
