Frank Zappa - Audio Interview 1972 (On Contemporary Classical Music)

[sdgakatbk]

I like what he says about not performing after something went wrong beginning at 5:30. There is a video out there from the final song from a Zappa concert I think in Sweden where he had the band replay the song because they made mistakes.

Is frank your uncle, fruhko?

@superkulmedkniv25 In 1959 Frank showed up at the Pomona College campus radio station and aired The Uncle Frankie Show (...) "Once upon a time, i was a disc jockey on a low-voltage college radio station. Nobody ever checked to see what was going on there. I was not a student. I got away with it for a week." FZ.

Sweet interview, and some really interesting questions. Specific stuff. Me likey.

[NWG92]

@kevycanavan Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He is pretty light and cheery in a lot of interviews though. This just isn't one of them.
