      I used to have dinner with his son Ahmed when I was in LA. He was the most humble person ever. He never once mentioned who his father was and I never once asked him. I think that's why we hit it off. We are opposites. His IQ was above 200 mine not so much but always could get his points across. It was a weird time in my life. 1999. Peace Like you care even. But I needed to get it off my chest

    this guy...simply every interview is a classic quote: what comes out is an extension of my
    personality it's my personal vision and
    that means that the product has some
    content to it whether you like it or not
    it's a genuine reflection of who I am
    and what I am and most of the rest of
    the stuff that comes out is product and
    it's product that's been manufactured on
    behalf of somebody else and the average
    group that does a video doesn't really
    have any input into the making of it
    they go to a company and say hey make me
    look good on tape so I can be on TV
    right so in most instances the video
    shorts don't even relate to the song let
    alone any aesthetic the group might have
    but since mostly groups don't have any
    aesthetics to begin with it's kind of
    irrelevant and what's probably going to
    happen is the market will be flooded
    with these objects

    The days when we used to memorize and play amazing music.
    We did this in the 1970's Fusion Days. In a funky little cover band.
    We played/REHEARSED relentlessly in 1974-1980, Fusion.
    Which meant. playing Zappa, Santana, Allman Brothers,
    Jethro Tull, DIxie Dregs, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Mahavishnu John McClaughlin,
    Joe Walsh, The Who, Eric Clapton, Tubes, etc and etc. anything and everything
    that was a hit on the radio & current in between the Masters of Reality.
    I played rhythm guitar between two fantastic lead players
    capable of playing all of these guys music.
    Our live outdoor parties we're legendary. All around
    LA in those days and in our are of Santa Barbara County
    these things we're going on. We we'ren't the only ones.
    And, Frank Zappa was our guiding light.
    This was my first band and I learned more in
    those years than the rest of my life. That little band had people
    lined up around a block to get into to see us. We we're very young
    and didn't even know better, by the 1980's drugs and alcohol
    ruined it all. Mostly cocaine and massive egos.
    I'll say this about Music and Politics....ever since .....
    lazy and stupid...politics and music...
    "Hell is filled with amateur musicians"
    George Bernard Shaw
    and
    "Socialism is for Ass holes"

    I speculate Zappa would habe been against the "social justice" types just as much as the neocons and Trumpians. The more I hear Zappa and read his interviews, the more I think his bluntness and even rudeness at times really came from a place of love. Zappa tried to free people of their emotional and psychological hang ups. Sort of like his attitude was "You might not think so, but you're probably capable of being more intelligent and honest if you'd just stop with the bullshit."
