Frank Zappa's Last Interview (TRANSCRIBED IN INFO BOX)



Uploaded by: secretagent12
Video Description:
Frank Zappa's last television interview. He is talking about his friend Nicolas Slonimsky, 1993.
Sorry about the poor quality. Some of you have commented that you find it difficult to hear what is being said. Here's what Frank says: "He's just a brilliant mind. And a very warm-hearted spirit. And these are qualities not often found linked together in human beings. And... I just liked him. O
ne of the things I really liked about him was his wardrobe. I always was impressed with his wardrobe from the first time he came over, because he had that look. He had the look of a real guy from that era, you know what I mean? The right kind of shoes, the right kind of tweed, rumple, worn for a tho
usand years. Kinda... sport coat, pants too short. He was wonderful. He was a fully developed character." Nicolas Slonimsky (1894-1995) was a musicologist, conductor, composer, author and much more. Check out his lectures on archive.org or simply do a google search. Zappa was right when he said tha
t Slonimsky was a wonderful person.

In which interview did Zappa say "child porn is cool"?

From what I understand, Frank was misdiagnosed for years. Most people dont die of prostate cancer. I'd hate to have his Dr.

Zappa wasnt much of an alcohol drinker, was he? He drank tons of cofee too, that probably didnt help him.

God bless you Frank, you are missed, a giant that walked this Earth.

fyi skankspankr, zappa had fried spaghetti nearly every day for lunch for decades and disgusted his family. fyi, charring a complex carb creates a tremendous amount heterocyclic amines, a known carcinogen. HCA's substantially increase the risk of colon, pancreatic, and breast cancers. so, smoking 2packs a day for 3 decades + eating fried spaghetti to the point of charred blackness + his 2 pots of coffee daily habit, took its toll. certainly wasn't the doc's fault.
also, frank died ... ( 1 week ago by ginsoakedbeau)
also, frank died from pancreatic cancer, which is one of highest mortality rates of all cancers, pancreatic cancer is for all intents a death sentence. for higher death rate than breast cancer, which gets all the research and funding.
I remember reading ... ( 1 week ago by skankspankr)
I remember reading his book where he mentioned fried spaghetti (or basketti, as my kids called it), but I dont know about him eating it every day. He also mentioned making "burnt weenie sandwhiches". But he did indicte his diet (as well as the musicians who were always around) pretty much consisted of frozen, microwavable junk food.
"The influence of a frozen beef pie!"

I thought it was prostate cancer? In the Today Show interview, Katy Couric mentions that PC is rarely fatal if checked. Not to sound like I keep correcting you, I guess we can both agree that Frank's dead and his habits contributed to it. Too bad.

ginso, first of all, stop trying to act like you know everything when clearly you do not.
1. zappa WAS misdiagnosed by his doctors, and if they had correctly diagnosed it for what it was he would have survived. by the time they realized it was cancer he had already had previous checkups and was told there was nothing wrong when in fact there was something very wrong 2. it was prostate
cancer, not pancreatic cancer, but thanks for the lecture in types of cancer doc...

From what I know he wasn't big on drinking. Then again, I don't know a lot.

"FYI..."
He died of prostate cancer. And, there would be no point in researching pancreaetic cancer anyhow. Any surgeon worth their marbles knows you don't mess with the pancreas. There's nothing you can do to it that won't kill you.
Duh.

My question is, they had to interview him *why*? I mean, he's obviously gravely ill and not long for this world, leave the man in peace!

I can only hope ... ( 3 days ago by Jockeyshifter)
I can only hope that it was Frank who requested the interview. Or at least agreed to it. There was absolutely no reason to force him to talk in his condition. And to tell the truth, it's more than a little sad to see him that way. I'll always remember he and The Mothers of Invention and their early albums. Good night Uncle Frank, we greatly enjoyed the shows.

he knew his days were near. and he wanted to talk. he made himself available to all sorts of media in his final year and especially his final months.

how the fuck is zappa dead and amy winehouse lights up her crack pipe every morning before she goes and mutilates what she calls 'black' music. probably the same reason carlins dead and bob sagets healthy as a mule
