American culture has a lot of great moustaches in its history. Mark Twain had a great moustache, Charlie Chaplin, Ben Turpin ... but Zappa, he’s got the best moustache in American history. Got the moustache, right, and he’s got that little thing on his chin, I think it’s called an imperial, that is, like, the coolest thing. That’s like one of the great icons of the twentieth century Picture Quote #1

I think there’s plenty of room, even in the most serious activist circles, for humor. Humor can be very effective both to inspire, and as a weapon. Just ask Frank Zappa and Charlie Chaplin Picture Quote #1

There was a lot of camaraderie among the bands. I remember a lot of times when I’d be driving up Laurel Canyon and pass by the house where Frank Zappa was living and I’d just see people out on the porch playing guitars Picture Quote #1

The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa Picture Quote #1

We are not a Zappa cover band. We only play Frank’s songs that were recorded by the Mothers of Invention and I think a lot of those songs were complex Picture Quote #1
