Sure that was an insult to Lennon and McCartney - The Captain had more ability in the dirt under his finger nails than those two pip-popsters. Twist and Shout, Come Love me Do - they should have read Schopenhauer. Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers has an interesting thing to say about Paul McCartney - check it out.
Watch @ 0.14, when the presenter fellow raised his hands towards Don to congratulate him, but as always, Don was in his world, Trippin and Kept On Rubbin'!
I'd read that he was a virtuoso whistler...seems to be producing the sound from the back of his throat...the girl has noooooo idea.... Otherwise, he was phobic about the Beatles, seems to have thought they were 'mushy'. When Zappa called Paul to ask if it was OK to 'borrow' the Sgt. Pepper's album cover concept, he replied, "I'll ask my lawyers." To which Frank replied, "That's what artists are for, to tell their lawyers what to do."
This is rare as hell. Thank you for posting! As far as the Captain paying homage, I would count "rather than 'I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND', I wanna SWALLOW YOU WHOLE." from the decals title track. That and the quoting of strawberry fields forever on strictly personal...

Genius is not a word to be used lightly. Both extremely talented and original. 'Sure Enough an yes I Do!'

@TomGunnHill - I believe that both the Captain and Zappa hailed from Arizona?
Anyways, both geniuses.
