  He answers every question, doesn't show any anger towards the questions, and is much more intelligent and media savvy than anyone else there

  I'm becoming addicted to hear Zappa talking, he's so smart and lucid and well articulated.

  Steve Vai once said that he and others in the band at the time would sometimes ask Frank Zappa things not so much for a particular answer, but just to hear what he'd say.

  I’m 74 & saw him 15 times. He was always great and respectful of his audience.

  He was such a great listener, he had answers for every single question and good ones too.

  ........and forty-three years later, Frank Zappa is still remembered as a genius composer, legendary guitar virtuoso, and magnificent musical visionary and satirist. A one of a kind, self-taught maestro of the first order, that indeed all of the renaissance composers of the ages welcomed with open arms when he left this earth. His compositional manuscripts are testimony to the trivial atmosphere of this sometimes confrontational, always amusing interview. None of the questions, or even the answers mean anything. For Frank, and his millions of fans, it was all about the music; and nothing but the music. Anything else, was just a figment of the imagination........... Forty-three years on, and his intellect continues to sting with surprising awareness, insight and candor. His perspicacity is so overwhelmingly maintained and relevant to current times, so long after his passing, that it's amazing his name isn't a household word, in every household. A true renaissance man of the twentieth century; musical genius, multi-faceted technologist, humorist, social satirist, political commentator, author, producer, filmmaker, supporter of history in education, champion of the First Amendment, and advocate of voter responsibility. One of my generation's most painful losses when he succumbed to cancer. What great fortune it was for me to live during his lifetime............

  Zappa was a lion in a field of jackals.

  How I wish Frank was here today - his perspective holds up close to 50 years later

  I wish George Carlin and Frank Zappa would have had their own music/comedy hour with total control over the output. A boy can dream.
