Frank Zappa - The Mike Douglas Show (2 of 2)

Frank Zappa at The Mike Douglas Show (November 1976).
Later that night, Mr. Zappa introduces "Inca roads" from his video work "A Token of His Extreme". Animation by Bruce Bickford.

Please note that the quality of this video isn't that great. So in order to keep the continuity I had to cut several seconds.
For any incorrect information, please notify me.

FZ was so far ahead of the times that modern artists are still decades behind...

[rg2027x]

RIP FZ. Ever notice how boring music, TV, movies became since reptiles & 'political correctness" took over? killing creativity+ free expression..We have no good music anymore. No good movies, TV is an absolute WASTELAND of BS. Forget about radio! Total shit. Nothing thought stimulating or conscience elevating. No depth or meaning, to encourage critical thinking. Just wasteland of mindless, spiritless, corporate business class drivel. Music has been reduced to dumbed-down image dominated cat food

@rg2027x In short, the research I could do on an artist online in an hour would have taken days on library research, as well as digging through archives, (where allowed!) and that one gem I found would have sat in somebody's home movies, occasionally viewed by a very few, for decades.

@rg2027x That is, you didn't have to hunt for it unless you had a reason. As a onetime volunteer scene writer, I found the Internet to be an invaluable and irreplaceable tool. I literally found thing that simply would have been impossible back in the day (i.e., a cellphone video of Taimane Gardner shredding "Wipeout" on her ukulele on the streets of Waikiki. See: "Crazy Ukulele Girl") It really added life to my article to be able to share something spontaneous like that!

[rg2027x]

@GeorgeDRange True, but back then we didn't have to hunt for it. the consciousness was different. Great works and music were mainstreamed, nationwide. to the collective. Not hidden, buried where you must search wide & far if to find at all. We have all this amazing technology & internet now, but less soul+ humanity. And the music has, shall we say, "taken a dive into the proverbial shit hole" :) Yah there's good stuff out now but doesn't speak to me emotionally..just surface level

[GeorgeDRange]

@GeorgeDRange Actually, I mean to say "choice of viewing". "Freedom" would be a bit pretentious!

[GeorgeDRange]

@rg2027x Much of life is sifting through the useless shit and taking away only what you believe to be worthwhile. I wouldn't go so far as to say that there is absolutely nothing worthwhile out there, because that would be generalizing, but it certainly is true that things have really gone downhill. One of the few benefits we do enjoy now is instant freedom of viewing, thanks to the Web. Could you imagine how much travel and labor would be involved trying to hunt all this shit down back then?
