    I watch this one night when I was in high school. it was on public TV and they were requesting donations. I called them and donated $50, using my friends dads name. They kept sending him a bill for the money. It was funny because he hated all things rock ‘n’ roll. I felt bad when I got older. 😂

    Very good interview, although I don't think Dick listened to any Zappa before the show, nor had he ever. His music uses comedy to get people to listen to his more complicated pieces. I got the impression that Dick went into this one relatively cold. And he did not remember playing Aynsley Dunbar's drums.

      Great comment. Had Dick ever actually listened to "We're only in it for the money" he would certainly have a few things to say.

    It’s very odd how this is probably the only mention of any interaction between Chicago and zappa yet no one seems to bring it up

      Frank's son Dweezil had a list of his (Dweezil's) favorite guitarists at one point, around 2011 and Terry Kath was in his top five. Frank also recorded an album with the 1975 Mothers, parts of which were recorded at Caribou Ranch. I think it was "One Size Fits All." That's all I know on it.

    To know about Frank Zappa is obligatory if one studies musicology in Germany - enough said?

    The time DID shoot past!
    There was an interview where F.Z. was asked about “The Monkees” and he (much to the interviewers dismay) actually praised them. Any idea who conducted that interview and when?

      The Zappa-Nesmith switcheroo was banal and insipid. Love it!!

      Mike Douglas interview 1976 where he played Black Napkins off Zoot Allures. He liked the Monkees. He was talking around how music as a product was packaged but he liked the way it was done there. They asked him the obligatory questions about Elvis and the Beatles. He said he liked the Beatles fine. He felt sorry for Elvis. Something interesting he said about Hendrix was that Jimi should have had a musical scribe or transcriptionist to take down on staff paper or tablature the way Jimi played it so it wouldnt have been lost to the ages. Gotta tell you, an intellectual musician is a treasure to me even posthumously.

      I agree with Frank on that, but Syd was still a genius

    Can this not be required viewing for high school students about now? And I'm not taking any position on ANYTHING going on politically or with cultural directions or ANYTHING. Just show this to teenagers and simply see their reaction. But MOST importantly, all for the sake of seeing the questions they have and whatever conversations, arguments, dialogue transpires within the classroom.

    Guess aids helped get rid of disco

      The disco as place of social interaction still exists under the name of 'club'.
      ...and the rhythmical feature of disco-music (i.e. uninspired rhythms performed by computer hardware) is striving on powerfully.
