Legendary guitarist Frank Zappa was not only a talented musician, but offered biting social commentary along with insightful political and philosophical ideas.
I had a chance meeting and interesting conversation with him once. Very intelligent guy. Made a very positive impression.
What did you talk about?
His IQ was off the charts.

Man Frank Zappa is so inteligent !!! Miss you Frank Zappa !!!
I watch this one night when I was in high school. it was on public TV and they were requesting donations. I called them and donated $50, using my friends dads name. They kept sending him a bill for the money. It was funny because he hated all things rock ‘n’ roll. I felt bad when I got older. 😂
"Who do you find weird Frank?" ~ What a brilliant question.
Wow what an insightful interview! I wish talk shows were more like this today.
they are podcasts now :)
This interview is a treasure. Thanks for uploading. 🦊
Frank was an amazing guitarist. Check out the recording of Black Napkin....
Rat Tamago too...
Excellent interview
Very good interview, although I don't think Dick listened to any Zappa before the show, nor had he ever. His music uses comedy to get people to listen to his more complicated pieces. I got the impression that Dick went into this one relatively cold. And he did not remember playing Aynsley Dunbar's drums.
Great comment. Had Dick ever actually listened to "We're only in it for the money" he would certainly have a few things to say.
Wow never saw this before ,Bravo.
Frank Zappa has been my personal musical idol since 1979, however I've always disagreed with him on drugs, LSD is NOT a chemical warfare drugs, it opens up parts of the brain not normally used on a daily basis. I started smoking weed & dropping lsd in 1978, I still smoke weed & still drop lsd & he imo made some of the greatest tripping music ever, Freak out, Absolutely Free, Lumpy Gravy & We're only in it for the money are phenomenal psychedelic music trips
You’ve been dropping acid for 46 years?
@@marc_simmons over 4,000 hits since 1978
I don't know, but I think he was talking about the government experiments that were conducted in the 50's & 60"s to study mind control and psychological warfare. That's how Kesey & Robert Hunter got turned on LSD. You volunteered or were paid I believe. Whitey Bulger did so he could get out of prison. I think he was doing 20 years and they cut that in half if he took part. And government experiments were I think a little more intense than any of us who sat in a peaceful space or dosed to what we perceived as a safe (in our heads or otherwise) place. The gov. in some cases were experimenting, pushing boundaries to see what you could do to a person with a head full of acid. How far they could bend & twist the mind. Just a thought. Take care.

It’s very odd how this is probably the only mention of any interaction between Chicago and zappa yet no one seems to bring it up
Frank's son Dweezil had a list of his (Dweezil's) favorite guitarists at one point, around 2011 and Terry Kath was in his top five. Frank also recorded an album with the 1975 Mothers, parts of which were recorded at Caribou Ranch. I think it was "One Size Fits All." That's all I know on it.
FZ really at his most relaxed and friendly. DC was the best.
To know about Frank Zappa is obligatory if one studies musicology in Germany - enough said?
i believe Cavett was slammed by the cocaine remark
The "OG" DC!!!!!!!
Together they are the God Father 2
The time DID shoot past!
There was an interview where F.Z. was asked about “The Monkees” and he (much to the interviewers dismay) actually praised them. Any idea who conducted that interview and when?
The Zappa-Nesmith switcheroo was banal and insipid. Love it!!
some of the same people on Monkees' sessions played on Lumpy Gravy
Mike Douglas interview 1976 where he played Black Napkins off Zoot Allures. He liked the Monkees. He was talking around how music as a product was packaged but he liked the way it was done there. They asked him the obligatory questions about Elvis and the Beatles. He said he liked the Beatles fine. He felt sorry for Elvis. Something interesting he said about Hendrix was that Jimi should have had a musical scribe or transcriptionist to take down on staff paper or tablature the way Jimi played it so it wouldnt have been lost to the ages. Gotta tell you, an intellectual musician is a treasure to me even posthumously.

Again they go to Moon's name,I went out with a Korean girl named Sunny. People are so closed minded.
Frank Zappa got canceled before it was cool
Why do we have to tip-toe around religious organisations ?
I think he means, Sid Barrett, poor bastard !
~ Syd, not "Sid."
I agree with Frank on that, but Syd was still a genius
Can this not be required viewing for high school students about now? And I'm not taking any position on ANYTHING going on politically or with cultural directions or ANYTHING. Just show this to teenagers and simply see their reaction. But MOST importantly, all for the sake of seeing the questions they have and whatever conversations, arguments, dialogue transpires within the classroom.
He’d be canceled so hard nowadays
Guess aids helped get rid of disco
The disco as place of social interaction still exists under the name of 'club'.
...and the rhythmical feature of disco-music (i.e. uninspired rhythms performed by computer hardware) is striving on powerfully.
