    Say what you will about FZ, one thing can't be denied: he was the real deal. He never sold himself out, never went after the money or glamour or fame by taking a knee to the things he felt were a compromise to his rationale. He was certainly the most transparently intelligent person to ever come out of the counter-culture rock scene of America.

    People like to conflate opinionated/confident with intelligence. In hindsight, Frank was right about many things, but wrong about many things as well. Just look at how his children turned out - a bunch of self-entitled spoiled brats who only communicate with one another through lawyers. That speaks volumes of the values they were taught by their parents. I recall one of them saying that their dad used to bring groupies home and let them stay in their house, even while their mother was there. That would mess any kid up.

    Paul West: Zappa was a pretty unique individual, but I wouldn't exactly say he was never interested in money or fame. Zappa's net worth was $40 million. That's not the wealthiest, but it's not exactly chump change either. His house in the Hollywood Hills was sold in 2016 for $5.4 million. 8000 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, swimming pool, recording studio. It's a pretty good-sized house. Not sure what it's worth now. As for fame, he rubbed plenty of shoulders with the rich and famous. The word balloon on "Cruising with Ruben & the Jets", although funny, kind of sums it up. In fact, one album is titled, "We're only in It for the Money". kzread.info/dash/bejne/eouumNiwmL2xkrw.html greilmarcus.net/2016/04/27/mothers-of-invention-cruising-with-ruben-the-jets-122168/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We%27re_Only_in_It_for_the_Money

I still listen to his music regularly and am glad that you can still experience his music live mainly thanks to Dweezil but also other great musicians in including the amazing Rachel Flowers. For me the greatest artist of the 20th century. It would have been great if cancer had not robbed him of his chance to stand as an independent candidate for the US presidency. He would not have got in but would have definitely made a positive impact on the minds of the people

My Life with Frank Zappa 1968-1971 Laurel Canyon'. It is my story from meeting Frank in London when publicising the Mother's first European tour in 1967 and ended up living and working in his house with Gail, Moon Unit, and seven others, thus the book's unique access.

I introduced him to Zappa and we used listen to Sheik Yerbouti and laugh like crazy. We were both weird odd kids so Frank gave us validation that we were ok and didn't have to be like everyone else. The first tour of ZpZ I went with my son and at the same venue I saw Frank at in 84. That was special for me. I've been to ZpZ the first 4 years for a show. the first 3 with my son.

    I think there was some trauma in Zappas early life/career when he was jailed for a misdemeanor. It was basically entrapment, when undercover cops asked him to make a sex audio tape for them with girls moaning. That was when he lost a lot of trust in the system and may have made him a sort of cynic on society, Americana and stupidity in general.

    I think a lot of his cynicism stems from his Catholic upbringing, but yes, his arrest and incarceration on trumped up obscenity charges definitely cemented his outlook on American society and its obsession with making a target of anyone who didn't fit the mold.

    George Bernard Shaw had an interesting quote on the word cynicism as you two have ascribed to Frank here. He said, "The art of accurate observation is called cynicism by those who don't have it".

    The forgotten American values - honesty and craftsmanship. The last four years tells all you need to know about honesty... and craftsmanship? Considering we don't make anything in the United States anymore pretty much sums up craftsmanship. Everything Zappa was cynical about has become magnified... greedy sellouts and liars have become American idols. Frank Zappa and George Carlin were prophetic truth tellers who died before their entire stories could be told.

    Hello Ms. Butcher. Thank you for watching! I've read your book, and it's a thrill for me to know you seen the project. This film was compiled by me as a free personal project strictly for KZread using existing clips. My intention behind the project was to show a side of Zappa that, in my opinion, is overlooked. His fatherhood. As I watched interviews over the years, I enjoyed seeing him light-up a bit when mentioning his children. Along with the negative press going on with the family in-fighting at the time, I felt other fans would also enjoy a positive compilation of clips. I meant no disrespect by using your interview without contacting you. I felt it was perfect to introduce this project.
