Frank Zappa's Last Interview (TRANSCRIBED IN INFO BOX)

Frank Zappa's last television interview. He is talking about his friend Nicolas Slonimsky, 1993.

Sorry about the poor quality. Some of you have commented that you find it difficult to hear what is being said. Here's what Frank says:

"He's just a brilliant mind. And a very warm-hearted spirit. And these are qualities not often found linked together in human beings. And... I just liked him. One of the things I really liked about him was his wardrobe. I always was impressed with his wardrobe from the first time he came over, because he had that look. He had the look of a real guy from that era, you know what I mean? The right kind of shoes, the right kind of tweed, rumple, worn for a thousand years. Kinda... sport coat, pants too short. He was wonderful. He was a fully developed character."

Nicolas Slonimsky (1894-1995) was a musicologist, conductor, composer, author and much more. Check out his lectures on archive.org or simply do a google search. Zappa was right when he said that Slonimsky was a wonderful person.

@CRYST4L47 Here are two grand examples, that beat the heck out of assumption. youtube/wTh5AaXiaaI and: youtube/tmCV9fVgGnc

@CRYST4L47 Say it all you want, but he did not even allow himself or his band members to drink alcohol, because he demanded top-notch, ready to play vituosos. Read up on him a bit, cuz imagination is all about giggling, funny names and creativity. Only a mental midget would be able to achieve that level of imagination only by using a drug of some sort...and dont say "Yeah, he was on some shit". as if he is in some club with us. He didn't smoke, drink, shoot or pop, period. IMAGINATION
