Bickford is a genius. People should watch clay animation every evening instead of the news. His style is so aggressive and yet expansive I can't take my eyes off of it. Had to look this fellow up after viewing baby snakes. Probably the greatest animator currently on the planet. Do not forget he works out of his home and garage, no fancy studio's or CGI's. This guy is nailing it!!!
FZ said he smoked 10 joints in his lifetime in one interview. I'm not sure that if he had done other drugs if he would have cared to make that publicly know. He was probably already under enough scrutiny, why would he draw more unwanted attention on himself?

Thanks Frank!
Surprisingly conducted by Boulez as well, not quite as mathematical as some of his other performances (not just Zappa's).
Check out the version of this on the album 'Make A Jazz Noise Here' for a completely different take on it!
