    "Who do you find weird Frank?" ~ What a brilliant question.

    I had a chance meeting and interesting conversation with him once. Very intelligent guy. Made a very positive impression.

    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.

    Frank Zappa got canceled before it was cool

    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.

    To know about Frank Zappa is obligatory if one studies musicology in Germany - enough said?

    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

    Again they go to Moon's name,I went out with a Korean girl named Sunny. People are so closed minded.

    He’d be canceled so hard nowadays

    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.

    Why do we have to tip-toe around religious organisations ?
    I think he means, Sid Barrett, poor bastard !

      I agree with Frank on that, but Syd was still a genius

    Guess aids helped get rid of disco

    • @11Kralle

      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.
