The Sweetest Rock and Roll Family; The Zappa's, 1986

[JCfromDC2]

Moon is a hottie. Certainly didn't get her beauty from daddy. Frank could freeze boiling water with a look.

[JCfromDC2]

In the 80s the only thing the Republicans were in control of was the White House. Remember also that Frank's drubbing of the "censorship panel" in Congress was then chaired by a bunch of Liberal Democrats headed by Al Gore and his (now) ex-wife Tipper. THAT was a hoot! Libs posing as neo-cons and getting the crap knocked out of 'em by Frank, Dee Snyder and John Denver (of all people)

[MrTurdFurgeson]

Actually, the Democrats controlled both houses during the 80s. Reagan was president, but had a Democratic congress and senate. May want to look up the facts, kids.

[MsBukaki]

Frank Zappa's children are soO beautiful... specially Moon unit she is like a light house"

[NakedPlanet1]

@MsBukaki True. Moon Unit is beautiful. Especially when she smiles. If I were in the same room I'd tell her every joke I knew & just to keep her smiling.

[hershysquirts187]

is that billy preston on piano. because i dont know why he would want to be on a show with david brenner.

[sallymick27]

My 5 year old daughter danced naked to "The Girl In The Magnesium Dress". Great freeform movements....

[whitedwarf13]

@sallymick27 That would be a very hard song to dance too...

[TheMrLusk]

Dweezil's Zappa Plays Zappa Band are just awesome. He has a sweet gilmoury feel to his Fathers licks, and for me it's just a little more syrupy and nicer to listen too. He makes Franks music even more palatable for the new listeners of his fathers music. They are both legends in my eyes. I had a tee shirt signed by Dweezil but can I find it ??? NOO :(

[noodlesmealey]

hair-larry-ous

[noodlesmealey]

so theres a submarine door on the studio right? shoulda filled it right up with water. and welded it shut like connie frankishes mouth.

[noodlesmealey]

gail and her bolt on pig uterus.... makes gruesome clones.

[rodcrippler]

it looks like Moon didn't listen enough Stravinsky, since she ended up marrying Matchbox 20 into the Zappa family1

[TheCajun124]

God, what would he say today.....things are so fucked, Civil Liberties are non-existant, the bail-outs, GMO......9/11......he would've come unhinged!

[geridg]

she was hot!

[Nevigo]

Dweez was such a VH fan at that point,and he had personal lessons from Steve Vai,so he was busy..:)

[MichaelHansenFUN]

you should see interviews with Gail, she is amazing

i saw her on politically incorrect with one of her sons-hilarious.

they are laughing but not stoned

3:03 hilarious

[TreyRoque]

Zappa hated the Dems just as much. He was a libertarian. Even so, he'd have something to say about the Rands too.

[thegirl44]

@TreyRoque

Frank was a filthy capitalist without any stated political affiliations.

[Diane12163]

Excellent video. Love Frank Zappa. My high school science teacher looked exactly like him. I read his autobiography and loved it. I like his views on music and religion.

[redhavok666]

how many damn haircuts has dweezil had?! lmao

[solarwave]

Frank was in a good mood.

[IronChef3]

@solarwave

Yeah, a rare treat to see Frank in a good mood for a TV interview, especially right around this time. The Alan Thicke interview comes to mind.

[DaVooz]

Cool group.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

David Brenner RULES

MOON UNIT LOOKS SEXY-LOVE THE HAIR

his son looks a lot like his father-didnt he shave his hair?

[gergsar]

@TEMPmichaelhansen no, you're thinking of his brother, Amet.

[smithdsmit]

zappa believed in learing about and protecting the constitution.what a novel idea. i wish the president had those beliefs.even though that is his job

[wisesatyr72]

Billy Dee Williams..what the hell.?

[chriskirby1985]

Is that Billy Preston in the house band at the start?

[gastonave]

Eighties hairstyles FTW !

[foutupourfoutu]

Moon's cute!

[kroonsberg2009]

Thanks for the videos! Mr. Frank Zappa is just the greatest musician that has ever been and here we see him also as a very nice and kind person.

[cbfeeling]

Always with the Republicans, this guy never figured out Democrats are no better. I don't know what he's bitchin' about, he got to live his life on his own terms and made a great living. I wish I could have a home in the Hollywood hills.

[JazzSheep]

Realize that in the 1980's, the Republicans were so firmly in control that the Democrats were barely visible. However, Zappa did tussle with the likes of Tipper Gore, so maybe he did realize.

[cbfeeling]

Those are good points.

[chyrd]

@JazzSheep And we are now back there again!!! Sux

[JazzyJonas]

@JazzSheep And, Tipper Gore was a "Democrat!" It's like Bill Maher said: "We don't have left and right in this country anymore. We have right and fucking insane!" Does the phrase "lighten up" mean anything to anyone anymore?

[thegirl44]

@JazzSheep

The facts about politics of the time don't support your comment.

[funforalgernon]

@cbfeeling His recording career started when LBJ was President....he didn't hit it big because of the GOP

[Jonaheim88]

if you have a permit to legally carry a firearm for protection, and a police officer draws a weapon on you for no reason...do you have a right to remove your firearm from concealment? I would want to protect myself if something like that ever happened..you never know what the police officer might do. I was just curious how that would work.

[TiniNormi]

I want to sleep with all three of them... not all at once, you sicko!

[LogansRunning]

Yeah, thank you very much fellow youtuber!

[DangerousBastard]

Thank you, this is very cool stuff!

[laletemelgarete]
