Oh please. Frank cultivated the idea that he was weird his whole life, he loved it. And he was frequently rude to interviewers, and obviously held most of them in disdain.
How could would it be having Frank as a dad? Dweezil was only 13 and he seemed smart beyond his years, as did Moon Unit (who wasn't actually anything like a Val in real life). I'm sure that easygoing artistic environment, coupled with how intelligent he was, had some influence on them as kids.
And, to think people are still bitching about cuss words today over 30 years later? And how people still usually take satire seriously and miss the point.
What a family! Frank: Universal genius. Gail: Business Matriarch. Moon: So beautiful and hysterically funny. Dweezil: Superb Guitarist. Diva: "Eccentric" artist and blogger extraordinaire. Ahmet: Well, he was married to Selma Blair, wasn't he? Good interview, even though the interviewer is ever so slightly condescending, if not outright patronizing. Thanks!
yumpladukfoo uh... no. You need to calm the hell down cuz you don’t know what the hell youre talking about. She looks NOTHING like her dad. She actually does look like Justine Bateman but prettier. If you’re going to go off on someone with a dumb opinion, do it when your opinion actually makes sense. Thanks.
Awesome interview! I really miss Frank! I have 35 albums some in mint condition, some beat from being played so often. Looking to sell if anyone is interested
How would Frank respond to the infamous Al Sharpton. In my opinion, Zappa was to smart for this world. Shit is going down and we need Frank to comment....
@10:42 Frank Zappa says" I think ignorance is its own reward ,if that doesn't make you really Think about truth then you might go to one of Frank's last interviews " where he say's " it doesn't matter to be remembered !! this is a guy that had a very busy Brain and tried to keep it honest ..
I don't see this interview as condescending. I just don't think the reporter has any idea what to think of Frank and his kids. One of the reoccurring theme in many Zappa interviews.
Barfko-Swill..say no more. You don't need to go hunting all over asking "typical American journalist" questions to understand FZs wit. For gods sake where do the people who feel he is weird spend their day? in the mall, at the office? HAH! those are the freakin weirdest environments known to mankind. RIP Frank, and thanks.
I wish I was older to have witnessed his exploits among the rest of the mediocrity at the time. I think the closest that we get to uniquely weird individuals with the same notoriety in the US would be Marilyn Manson, and he's not even on the same weird wavelength as Zappa.
"Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird!" Somehow most people were just too dumb to get beyond that. While it was their loss it also blocked a lot of other people from having access to the enrichment of having Frank in their lives.

He hates Drugs and so do we...If I looked like Frank I would have two kids,but im not Frank BUT THIS IS TRUE: My Mother is Worse than 41 SpaceCadets..and My Mom is worse than Bad.
Moon was _soooo_ adorable back then. Dweezil had potential, but never filled it because he wanted to be too much like 10,000 other guitarists out there. He should've hung out with his dad a lot more than he did. Nowadays he's just trying to cash checks meant for his dad with that insufferable "Zappa plays Zappa" show of his.
Dwezil looks like Anakin Skywalker just about to say "You underestimate my power!"
Every interviewer asked the same tired questions as if Frank was from outer space. Yet he was always graceful and extremely polite.
and smiling !
I thought this interviewer was unusually polite and smart.
Zugbruck Musik he might as well be from another planet, his music was insane
Oh please. Frank cultivated the idea that he was weird his whole life, he loved it. And he was frequently rude to interviewers, and obviously held most of them in disdain.
Frank really seems like a nice guy and good father - God bless man.
dweezil is an animal on the guitar. i saw him a few years ago
Great man and great family; everything he created was fantastic!
I love how the Zappas all have the same way of conversing
Frank was one 100 years advanced
their body language shows they are a very close family very attractive children
How could would it be having Frank as a dad? Dweezil was only 13 and he seemed smart beyond his years, as did Moon Unit (who wasn't actually anything like a Val in real life). I'm sure that easygoing artistic environment, coupled with how intelligent he was, had some influence on them as kids.
The zappas are normal its us that are strange
all I can say is ...what a healthy and beautiful family!
Frank wearing a "Pennsylvania State Police" t-shirt. Wonder if that was a gift from the State trooper who he conducted a couple of interviews with.
Gotta say, Dweezil really beat the hell out of puberty.
"And when she rides the broom..."
First Moon is a very pretty girl. Second Dweezil sounds like his father. Fun people and great music.
I Have a mint copy of the VALLEY GIRL COLORING BOOK. OMG!!! Its totally awesome. Zappa Family Rules.
I think this woman is weirder than Frank.
It's always a pleasure to hear him speak
And, to think people are still bitching about cuss words today over 30 years later? And how people still usually take satire seriously and miss the point.
The coolest man on the planet rip FZ
I miss Frank So much, the best ever.....
What a family!
Frank: Universal genius. Gail: Business Matriarch. Moon: So beautiful and hysterically funny.
Dweezil: Superb Guitarist. Diva: "Eccentric" artist and blogger extraordinaire.
Ahmet: Well, he was married to Selma Blair, wasn't he?
Good interview, even though the interviewer is ever so slightly condescending, if not outright patronizing.
Thanks!
I don't know, she seems to at least respect him, unlike a lot of other media outlets at that time.
Dweezil looks so pissed off.
it's just the Armenian/Persian look.....SO HOT!!
It's strange because Dweezil has a higher voice now then he seemed to have at that age
She's really pretty! Wonder how she's doing now.
The best die young! I miss Franks music and humour
have not seen this in years,thanks.
God, Moon is so damn cute. 8)
...kinda like Justine Bateman of that same time...!!;] (Y)
amsedelm : Breathtakingly beautiful.
Daughter makes me think of a young Natalie Wood.
Woah Dweezil looks so different today than he did then!
That's what ageing 31 years does to a person :)
This is so great.
Thank You
Awesome- thank you for uploading this!
I wish they had brought Ahmet because he is without a doubt the funniest of all the Zappa family including Frank. That guy is hilarious!
Love the fact that he has a PA State Police shirt on... hence the keystone.
MOON is CUTE
This is awesome.
I miss you, Frank.
frank and dweezil sound just alike. moon is gorgeous!
Moon resembles almost identical to Justine Bateman!
Alex Van Hagar yes agreed!
yumpladukfoo uh... no. You need to calm the hell down cuz you don’t know what the hell youre talking about. She looks NOTHING like her dad. She actually does look like Justine Bateman but prettier. If you’re going to go off on someone with a dumb opinion, do it when your opinion actually makes sense. Thanks.

Frank's disdain for the interviewer only barely eclipses my own...
Julian Casablancas and the voidz are definitely taking frank zapa as inspiration :)
He was a pleasure and very Wise to create all of his stuff, I mean Geez what planet could compare to this wonderful family!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
How did that woman get that job?
Any kind of pain.
"he tickled the class" lmao
How would Frank respond to the infamous Al Sharpton. In my opinion, Zappa was to smart for this world. Shit is going down and we need Frank to comment....

Moon why didn't you contest the will?
when woman ''ride the broom'' he say's,i thought that was funny...he was a very interesting guy to say the least...r.i.p frank....
w/that "Moon Ass"- though -he was referenceto anal seXXX!? ;]
God forbid a family not be a "typical American family"
team weird! I love their feelings on Gail even then :}
over by tom waits restraunt.
I don't see this interview as condescending. I just don't think the reporter has any idea what to think of Frank and his kids. One of the reoccurring theme in many Zappa interviews.
At 5:13, is he going into revelation ?
That and he's only 14 in this video.
Dweezil looks like Eddie Munster
Barfko-Swill..say no more.

Dweezil would make a guest appearance on the Weird Al Show in 1997
how embarrassing for them.
"Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird!" Somehow most people were just too dumb to get beyond that. While it was their loss it also blocked a lot of other people from having access to the enrichment of having Frank in their lives.
Zappas 1000 CBS 0

wht abt ur russian ??...are u able for the correct pronounciation...u know wht they gonna tell u : " SPEAK MORE CLEARLY, PLEASE" ...
Who is this interviewer - she can't speak English - "tell us about your moms?" Come on...
Moon was _soooo_ adorable back then.
