A&E could and should of done 2 episodes on this american master musician... thanks for posting this , in the hopes that kids today will see ,hear and even laugh along with this great man. thanks Frank for the wonderful times you have and still give me!
@rwk1983 prostate cancer is not caused by cigerettes.. so either way he would have died, the only thing that could have saved him was if it was diagnosed in time, which it was not... when the growth had been found it was estimated that he had had it for 10 years....
n Straya, Zappa imports were expensiiiive.... As a boy I had to go to Utopia Records in Martin Place, Sydney when they'ze was there.... that was the 80's 'n' that... what about the Atlantics they'ze was Orstrayan 'n' that... try them they might be cheaper on Youtube...
Not a bad effort by Biography for such an enigmatic person. However, I'm disappointed they didn't mention, or show, any major footage from the film 'Baby Snakes'.
Yes, there was a few short excerpts of the claymation and a bit of the live concert footage from the film, but it deserved its own mention I think.
For those of you that have not seen it, all I can say is: FIND IT at all costs! It will blow your mind.
Ok, it was his smoking, it had nothing to do with all of those radiation treatments he got when he was a kid. And even if he did get it from smoking, it is not like he would magically be cured when he stopped. And I have never heard of prostate cancer being caused by smoking. Some people will just say anything to get people to stop smoking.
I never said it was true, but nothing surprises me at this point. I wish I could find the places I heard and read that stuff. Interesting, to say the least.
Nah, the government doesn't kill anyone with a big mouth-you kiddin'? Not even remotely possible at all. The government loves all its little snowflakes.
I didn't say there's no corruption, but it doesn't mean that the government is behind EVERYTHING. To actually believe that killing Frank Zappa was on high on the list of the government's priorities, one would have to be quite the idiot.
that was great to watch, hadn't seen it. thanks for uploading it, a good lil sliced intro to the man. anybody further interested should dig in, DEEEEEEEP.
and watermelon in easterhay for the endpiece, mmmm...

@rwk1983 I don't think that cigarettes were responsible for his prostate cancer but maybe. I'm no doctor.

How cool would it be to be able to invite the Chieftans over to your house to jam with Johnny "Guitar" Watson and some Mongolian throat warblers????

Super genius artist! I wish he would have been around in these strange days with Obama; Bush; 9-11; global warming; energy and financial crisis, etc.
¿What kind of music would he be doing for us today?

He was about to die from prostate cancer, all of a sudden the risk of lung cancer isn't that scary.

smoking cigarettes can cause cancer in any part of the body, not just the lungs, you tool. his prostate cancer was caused by smoking.

i dunno, there's a few conspiracy theories floating around on frank's sudden prostate woes and eventual death.
maybe the government didn't appreciate the other stuff he was doing.
i hope not, but nothing would surprise me at this point...

I'm sure the cancer killed FZ and not a little ball of Ricin. But I'd love to see Zappa's FBI file.
murcuryvapor 2 years ago
Yeah! I'm sure they (the FBI) had a pretty thick file on Frank. They had a big one on Lennon who was pretty illitterate politically, so guess what?
Ullprutt 2 years ago
Was Lennon illiterate politically? I think part of the reason was that Lennon was a foreigner, no?
