Frank Zappa was a truly gifted comedian and musician and I always had so much fun when I went to see him.

Great seeing Frank talk candidly and enjoying himself This is a great interview!

After seeing tons of Zappa interviews, this is probably my favorite. Frank is very engaging here. You can tell he has a good rapport with the interviewer (who appears delighted with his answers) and which further seems to inspire Frank to be even more engaging. Love it.

Wow, Frank having a GOOD interview is rare! Usually you can feel the contempt he has for the interviewer.

Good point man! This is a great interview. Frank respects him to a degree, making a fantastic interview. Damn, I miss Frank and well always miss him, but at least we have a great and vast of recorded music that is here for all to enjoy.

I had the immense pleasure to meet Frank Zappa as he strolled through the Dorval airport in Montreal ,in 1973.

i saw f and his crew in austin texas at the armadillo world headquarters fall of 1980...i was 29 years old at the time, am now 72 and to this day that experience is still one of the best nights of my life.... thanks frank for that show, the tunes, ...... i was excited when you were thinking of running for president...you left this dimension way too soon....

Frank is extremely at ease and comfortable here,like he was actually enjoying it.

What a great interview. Thank you so much.

MAGIC!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

I feel like Zappa really liked the interviewer here, never seen him laugh so much in an interview before

I know the guy who did the trumpet on the Imperial Margarine commercial. Frank Dorritte He was our horn instructor in the 70s

Really nice man. We met him in, um, 1968, saw his performance. Long story short, we danced with him while the Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes played.

15:44 I wish that commercial would turn up on youtube.

Some people are ought to live forever!

This is delightful - and he's lit like a god! 😂

7:56 - “You never know, in the future I might get someone (another drummer) even more basic, This is RIGHT before Terry Bozzio and then VINNE lolololol

Zappa always seems so much more comfortable when being interviewed in Europe.

Nanook!

Catholic girls! Classic

Frank always reminds you how shallow, dull, empty headed, humourless and deluded so many other (rock) stars are.

And when Frank mentions Spain, Portugal and Brazil, it's 1973. Far-right military dictatorships...so different from our "democracies," right? It can't happen here...

Frank was always about three fries short of a Happy meal and I loved it !!! 😁❤️🎵

But he always had a plan. I give him that, now that 35 years later I realize how good he was and a lot of his music. Was playing Overnight Sensation and much of Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar the last week, all great stuff. Early on it seemed to me Zappa had a real 'tude and I wrote him off for years as an effete crank, but these days i can appreciate Frank and the Mothers. Their satire and comedy etc. comes through. It sounds though like Zappa was an uncompromising figure, and he had a lot of years of troubles with record companies and managers, etc.
