Zappa with Words

I can't say I am the kind of Zappa fan who has all this albums. In fact, I have very few Zappa Albums and like very few of the tunes. But I always loved Zappa as a personality.

He was a fascinating dude and it's ashame that his kids are fighting over his legacy. It's also ashamed what happened to he and Don VanVliet.

Anyway, I enjoyed listening to the clips in this film. Don't expect to learn a real lot about Zappa. Just sit back and enjoy Zappa's pontifications.

Frank Zappa: You're 18. Take the spoon out of your nose, take the needle out of your arm, take the beer out of your mouth, and go vote. You know what I mean? Vote. Register and vote like a beast.
