    Zappa. No one wanted to be him, someone had to be him, so he volunteered. Thanks, Frank.

    As a child, I recorded this album Absolutely Free. It was a shock to hear such unbridled psychedelia in the USSR in 1969. Frank Zappa didn’t fascinate me, but his raw, unfinished creations didn’t disappear without a trace from my memory ... Bittersweet nostalgia, 52 years have passed, but I remembered the melodies and even some phrases of the songs ..! It was an amazing experience, although I did not become a fan of them ... because in those days there was so much amazing new music every month !! It seemed to me that it will always be so ... Thanks.

    @Asunda Speed In my opinion tobacco is the most addicting drug there is. You can tell that because when you smoke your first cigarette you cough your brains out, vomit and say never again. Then a half hour later you want another one. Your choice, not going to tell you how to live your life, as long as you don't get high and hurt someone or your family/loved ones don't suffer for your actions you are only effecting yourself. True libertarian. I used to eat hash and listen to Frank Zappa and the Mothers. I was at this very concert on Halloween in 77 at the Palladium when he did "Titties and Beer" kzread.info/dash/bejne/ia6uuaeembjMY7w.html Here is Frank doing one of his final interviews. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3iN3Newd5DNf6g.html

    I first heard Zappa, Freak Out in 1966. I was a classical flute player, part time rock bass player and aspiring composer. Totally changed my life, or affirmed my life. To hear a composer, over the years, who did himself, so to speak. I realized I am not a touring band type guy. I realized I just wanted to spend my days composing, my day job. To be myself, so to speak. I got a BA and MA in composition and composed all kinds of music. I found that I loved scoring film/tv music and making my own LPs. My first score in 1974 lead me to full time scoring, 1974 to 2011. All I did was compose music for film/tv and make my own albums. in 2011 I moved into the mountains, and just make CDs of my music, I am on CD #34 now. Frank Zappa, the man and the music, helped me find my own path in life. While my music is not like Zappa, I know he would be happy that he helped me find my own path, my own music and my own voice.

    Trying to comprehend what Frank was doing has been one of my greatest musical pleasures. I've been intrigued by the complexities of his music since I was 13. I've been to Prague twice. It is a wonderful place and is uniquely Prague. This concert in 1991 was when Czechoslovakia was a brand new republic. So glad things worked out. 30+ years of freedom and counting. This was an incredible performance at a pivotal time. I'm glad I could see a part of it.

    Back in the mid 70's Frank came to Ft. Wayne and I couldn't go. A friend went and said it sucked bad The speakers kept cutting out and and it didn't sound good. Some months later Frank came back and I went and this guy said it would suck and all was fixed that night. Frank is a Genius. Others laughed at me for seeing something in Frank Zappa only so few of us that were able to tune in to what Frank was playing. So now I'm retired sitting on my front porch playing my old Rock n Roll albums as loud as I want. Long live Rock
