Did he break out in tears at 8:52?? That's so touching

[YourArf]

Yes, he did. Can't be easy to talk about somebody who influenced your life so much and then think of the fact that the person is gone. :/

Remember Frank Zappa! Remember him forever!!

[GreatMoogly]

Choked me up when he broke down near the end..... the brightest stars burn out the fastest. Thankfully we will always have the brilliant music of Frank Zappa to keep his spirit alive :D

Same performance as "Good god, I feel like the walrus"

[Sandbag209]

I had no idea he was so smart!

[Galactu5]

This is a great interview. Very touching as well.

5:30 ''..She took all my money, & she gave me no head..''...I think!

[GreggaryPeccary]

No need to tell ME that.
