Frank didn't like Prince either, let's not forget.

Whether he did or didn't doesn't change my opinion of his music.

I'd love to hear what he had to say about him.

I will say that the Real Frank Zappa Book is the single funniest thing I have ever read.

Here, a whole host of Zappa interviews.

Lent it to a friend and he took it with him to Japan never to return.
Very good read.

And i've had that interview page bookmarked for a while.
Good stuff that i'll have to revisit more of.

I'm not a Zappa afficianado, but if Dweezil and Ahmed are playing naked, I support them 100%!

i actually remember him saying complimentary things about prince. not a whole lot, but i remember him saying positive things about prince as a musician and a showman. i've certainly never seen a quote where frank slammed on prince.

he HAAATED bowie, though. he called him "captain tom" (a joke on "major tom"). i think that had more to do with bowie stealing belew for the 1978 "stage" tour than anything else, though...

You know, with most musicians/artists, I could care less what they have to say/think about anything.

Frank Zappa was one of the few that seemed to have an active working brain in his head.

I remember laughing out loud in the library after reading his thoughts on Thanksgiving and holidays in general.

Cool book.

That book is great. He should have been President.

Stax, ah...he's dead.

hence my use of the past tense. it doesn't matter anyway, he would be better than the current President.

Ike Willis = godlike.
