when he was growing up his third
interest with chemistry
at the age of 58 learn to make gunpowder
along the agent well be it had so many
accident but he decided to change it
into
from chemistry to music the final battle
and everything 1957 he has left an
explosive try looking at that
that has had one constant throughout
biting social commentary
is no holds barred them from humor even
include
ridiculing his own audience praying that
they had been acclaimed as ingenious
for his versatility and consistently
fine art under many different guises
composer bandleader movie producer
musician
and record company executive he is my
guest this evening I am
a month admit I was rather surprised to
the UN a very traditional
conventional navy blue suit and tie navy
blue suit work and a pink shirt though
it is bad make it alright I
affected you to coming in from 4 to
build our outfit and you look so
business like more of a lot more
businesslike and the
you out there people don't think I'll be
with a business like Canada
well as a good reason for that because
the only thing they know about me is
things that their rhetoric well as other
people tell them about me who since
nobody ever gets the
senior close you know i'm always brought
to you second-hand
and added to the people who report my
activities 10 the color
the way in which I am reported so what
said they know about it
I mean year and the opportunity for
playing that the to tell people
what he's really like and so that they
are not surprised when they feel appear
in a
anita Blue conservative said well
I'm a person with a common sense who
basically who does the certain type of
art comment and community always been
very important
I mean I feel like people in this
country without it
I although what I would be made it my
love you have another country still
that to we want to lay the blame on this
country my mom always
that instilled in me coming good I don't
know what else to do in life
it into you your head and you think
think that would be okay I think that
was terrific
like wedding day or did you not coming
from
or is that something you think it was
born with my God by accident
go to the my parents did not necessarily
bang you over the head and say now with
some common sense is really good because
the
well they were sensible people but that
they want advocating all the time
I just learned that by accident think
that you didn't go anywhere
I can maintain I didn't think so.
a whole upcoming when you got into a lot
of trouble when you're in high score on
road for possible to get into trouble in
an organized institution simply by being
different address the people in the
institution
and the if so a person getting the
probable that does not necessarily mean
that that person is bad
who bother to tell me that from the
different things that happened before
I well I manage to graduate
with about 20 units less than what
you're supposed to have because I've
been thrown out so many times in one of
the reasons why was thrown out
is because when I was a senior in high
school on my
the younger brother was a freshman he
was
kinda sexually assaulted by one of the
shop teachers during a class
and I found out about this so during
how the break between classes and menu
Miley went over there
and held this particular shop teacher at
bay with her
woodturning chisel impaired tin snips
and you know the blackboard jungle on
this guy
and until the the movement came and took
me away
you know but no I I don't like to stand
for on
people push me around a person my
relatives around
I i get very upset about things like
that so your threw me out of school
didn't know that when that into the new
bra top
and I believe it was mentioned briefly I
from Edmonton to people know anything
about anything right up
why you did that a valid only in ride a
bike needed
and no one knew the reason behind and I
mean I think if anyone as they are here
in a week and now they would pay you
were well within your rights to do
something like no I think goes well
within my rights to go in and do
something like that but I also think
that what happened to me in school
was resolved to be kinda stupid with
this problem
and schools in a small town if you have
somebody in the school
was different than the new local arm
and were discussed this before that
without deviation from the norm progress
is not possible
I'm thinking on this line you wanna be a
normal kinda guy wandering
here i watch sports on television
do all that kind of stuff do it if that
makes you happy
you should woohoo but if you have other
ideas about ways to improve things new
inventions some kind of art whatever it
is that you want to do
in a free society you should be free to
let your mind
developed with both and you should
receive support from the community for
doing this because
ultimately what you do as a creative
person is going to benefit the rest but
so-called normal people in the community
right now you
have the freedom to do more things I
don't know if we've always felt that you
can to support
well you when you say the freedom to do
those things certain things can only be
fully executed with finances you know if
you have an idea for an invention for
instance so
and you need the tools and machinery to
builder plan you may have the
freedom to think it up but you don't
have the financial freedom to construct
my
and same goes with artistic projects
from I have a great idea for an opera
but you're not going to be able not to
offer unless you have enough money to
pay off all the unions love
come into room the you know the
situation for the Arts the way it is in
america today
now have a lot of people that I love him
he's say that my combat
reunion and in the context in which he
did he said the union had come into my
room
they do I'll absolutely I think that
that's why are worse things have
happened to america today
is the way in which means the wall
descriptions
help affected the quality of life in the
United States
and the way the unions are represented
on television and the pea organizations
that they pay and what they have going
for them
try and perpetuate the myth but America
as the unionized country and one
something wrong happens in humans are
there to sort out by
for that underdog working guy and maybe
in the beginning when there was a
certain type oppression in the workplace
the unions did
come and and help support being
new point the working under dog or what
they have turned into
as its vast organizations the take money
from poor working guys invested in shady
deals
and don't really help the working people
while still feeding them these fantasies
but if you all stopped working and go on
a strike
when will be able to get more money for
you and your paycheck but all it does is
to make the guy that they're working for
raise the price of the goods these
manufacturing and everybody else bites
the back
but in the case for the Arts I see
situations all the time where
stagehands unions are paid incredible
amount of money
for doing nothing and in many instances
a degrading the quality of the the live
shows
with their associated with I C people
who are in executive positions in
newman's
breaking up regulations been don't
really good
with the way a the crap is being run
like them Musicians Union for instance
and no
certain aspects of the television
business and you remember the movie
I am a member musicians you know and it
makes me feel kind of strange to have to
say bad things about you when I belong
to
well i'm forced to join the union
because the way really a business
operates
i'm forced to do business with other
unions as i travel around and play live
shows
but that does not mean that I should
keep my mouth shut about the way that
they operate
many of them operated by extortion and
the subject the touring group to
regulations that are
ridiculous week and then and then
without parole
and only of course you want to know that
wallop where you wanna go to a place and
you want to
do a live recording at all a guy from
union will come up to you in some places
and say
you can help turn your recording
equipment on unless you pay us
say three thousand dollars you sleep or
hole for extreme abuse for what
all because we have to pay this off
special a policeman who were standing
around here
before or its just what the union says
and if you don't pay will stop the show
when they do that oil surely would
headed home some instances if I think
the show is important enough to record
in there is no recourse
I will pay other instrument other
instances I don't pay and I don't record
and this happened to us last year in
chicago won
work
they want those tickets with a three
thousand dollar bill mean
good the workmen who are out the whole
are doing no extra work
I supply all the labor for this
recording because it's my recording
equipment
I supply all the equipment and the
manpower
why should I have to pay an extra fee to
a bunch of guys were sitting around care
nothing about what I'm doing
will do nothing to help the quality
other are not putting in an extra
second the work or an extra out some
muscle power why should I be bribing
them
and it's not just your car go there are
other cities where you at feat when you
have that kinda money
I'm not the one who actually has to
shake hands with them and will check
this is something this time by the road
manager I'm presume that there is a
piece a paper
the changes hands one when the money
known that there is a piece of paper the
changes hands one
the money
probably a lot of people he knew talk
about this
they can understand your frustration but
it on the other hand can save it
and speak out against unions can be
considered by some to be almost
un-american
it's not on american remember that not
all-america humanize the vast majority
of Americans are not unionized
but if there were no you ni thank you
for many in the beginning to bloom
but now they've evolved into something
else but if the unions were taken away
made it would return to the way it was
in the beginning and we can also
intervene as well so I would not suggest
that all I'm saying is the last day is
the best policy
and honesty in all forms of american
businesses totally down the two
right now absolute lowest ebb in history
how to get there
well first of all you have to create a
desire for it to be there
and the when you have political leaders
do not demonstrate on a state when you
have people lying to constantly on
television
on the radio and the movies that's all I
and everybody just gets you still
the law as a way of life and honesty is
a concept is
were you outmoded an archaic and nobody
wants to be honest I anymore because
you're on a standard I finish last
you know guys missing last I'm who's bad
either
thank for this disgusting I'm 40 years
old I remember when I used to be a
little on steel
what do you think they feel is let me
know
another identity yourself an honest
person yeah but I'm not in a position
where I can do anything to influence
anybody
and I think they're honest people who
are in some others are very thin and
politics you mentioned that movies you
mentioned
television nearly always exceptions to
the rule but I would say
and without batting an eyelid the rule
today is dishonesty is the ruling on a
steal the exception
they'll take a belief you can have to
believe that but if you don't believe it
through
for think so I P I don't think yes in
every
in them that you've mentioned in every
area I think but there are a few people
who perhaps are not currently on it I
hope will happen on a
for all I who are defined I don't think
that from now on no
I mean if you're talking strictly about
quantity of people being honest versus
quantity of people being dishonest
maybe you could come up with a statistic
balance what would show that maybe
51 or 52 or some other people honest and
48 or
Katie but the new but really control
things
are not on us and they count for more
votes
them the extra ones who might be honest
you know what I mean I know I can say no
but who would those people me
I don't think we have an honest
president I don't think that he was
surrounded by honest people
I don't think that most of the people in
congress or or in the senate or on us
I'm not believe that they are honest
people called
online poll what makes you believe that
I think the ball
approval that is the way the country
operates I don't think that most the
people who help businesses are our lives
called like
yeah I would help it to feel that my
detailed
I mean I realize that I'm on life you
open your eyes to a situation is it
really is you can't do anything about
changing
but I would hate to be that medicare for
pessimistic about fairness say that this
country in this paper the people in this
country you would hate to be that
negative and be right
mats will really be horrible
now if you could be that negative and
somebody would suddenly just
come up with all the proven say it's
really okay you're just a negative kind
of a personal
know that would be like that to dream
for a minute there
but I believe you the limelight I
believe
they are dishonest I believe we have
allowed them to be
to be the way that they are we have both
them and we got him in there and we're
letting them do it
because we're not honest enough to face
up to the fact that we are owned and
operated by a financial really bad
people
alright then cool then let's just say
that what you're saying is true
I don't really agree with that I'm
letterpress alright because you're a
nice person so you don't have time
thank you my mother thank you that's a
detailed
what do on if people do to change it
I don't know where they can bouts with
release on specimens yeah I know I don't
know who left a commonwealth of a list
item and you can try but I don't know
whether or not
the the effort will yield results
what do you do I mean if you are feeling
a little things
are you able to good I read the next day
if you are feeling that things ended bad
and country
well I do what I do because I love to do
it
I'm dedicated music and I get up I do my
music
and I do it my way I'm trying not to
compromise
yeah if I get a chance to go on
television and say this but I do have to
10 and for that matter what else can I
do
that
not about the march around the city will
sign in my hand that doesn't do anything
but you can remind people were
something's wrong because the 10th in
the days to just
gloss over it you know the the good
the desire for escapist activities is
really
quite a peak now and media likes to
accommodate that desire and more you can
escape from how horrible things really
are
the left was gonna bother you and I'm
the worst things yet we have to break
away for just a moment that things will
get pretty bad around you know that
yes they have to have a few commercial
will do that well come back and we'll
continue this conversation with Frank
Zappa
they will hold when R
welcome back my guest this evening is
Frank Zappa
he has been called outspoken admit
helping them but his music
I shows biting social commentary I think
gay
even in the first segment already has
been able to to realize
thank you have definite feeling strong
feelings about anything you want
people to know how you feel about the
man you want them to take you seriously
moral slob critical that they take me
seriously the flu don't ignore it
completely
we just think about it for a minute
woohoo yessir
found yourself in trouble because im a
no one time there was a lot of people in
fact
lodged against it because as I the word
say
in one of your songs come off and
there's never been a lawsuit lodged
against me against
because boards and you're my songs know
what didn't see it
jewish I Defamation League the
anti-defamation league matches payer
PR organization made a bunch of noise
and newspapers and I'm battle I'll also
there was never was reliable sit there
was none
it wasn't your nothing
was just a bunch of noise there was no
legal action another white palm
gotta practice of cultures prices quite
the day on capitol
I I don't understand what they objected
to because first of all the songs
journalistic its room
reports the existence of phenomenon call
it through this process
which i think is fairly reasonable to do
something do exist
and in the song and tells what are the
characteristics that makes a person to
replace
what's all this on set out to do and it
says in the song that I want one
wasn't negative and I don't know what
their complaint was
both I'm sure they do just baffles me
accuse me of being anti-semitic which is
something that always helps them get
coverage in the newspaper they can
scream it's on so that this america may
get some
you know X paragraphs I'm not and
they're wrong
and that was two years ago ok
there's a lot of healing people object
to some other phone it
I what point well learn to let me tell
you what kinds of objections that occur
and the types of people who object you
know very well with the ATL that was an
organized
mechanized kind of objection no phone
calls letter-writing
pressure campaign i call someone was a
media oriented event
sometimes a radio station will get one
phone call from one person someplace
ones I'm who hears one word and one of
my songs
manages to get on the radio and screens
are going to the SEC
all instead of the radio station
thinking about how many people who are
listening to that station at the time
love the song
want to hear it again and will support
the station for playing at because one
person called up and said
I'm going to do this the guy who owns
the station
panics out and takes my record of the
year that's why I'm just too
because the people who are in favor up
having me played on the air
and like to hear what I do we never call
them so yeah that's great that your
plans up on their office strongly about
something usually
when people feel strongly about
something negative way and what happened
to write or call right but see if if the
station
was only interested in making money only
hears negative things
grand their only response was going to
be to avoid
confrontation where the this particular
force my community even its is
across the little lady sitting around
some places doesn't want to hear the
word brassiere and a song
but how often have have you taken
something that you like all granite
greeley when you take it for granted
there you always were you like it but
how many times have you called up the
television station
are written to a film company in bed I
really like that
good stop
it good stop we be surprised I've
actually done a couple to hand back one
time
there is a television evangelist in Los
Angeles I don't think is located there
but he is broadcast their I'm is on
channel 20
and he's on all the time eyes on 36
hours a day
can remember his name is got white here
I miss it there in israel fundamentalist
and his
no real his hard sell and I i watch the
shows a lot all the different ones
and are listen to him for one night for
about two hours
right but he was brilliant and I called
up right said so
because what he was talking about that
time
he's to me sunlight while the smartest
lawyers I've ever seen in my life as
long as he was talking about something
that was realistic
you know other than his monetary pitch
for his organization I could
definitely be enthusiastic about what he
was doing Michael up in SoCal
became much people and they don't no but
they should
you know if you see something that you
like you should push it you should
no like the people who have invested the
money
in the phenomenon know that their money
was well spent so we'll keep spending on
that
and not ship the money to some other
project room
police to really angry at
thing that makes me really angry is the
exaltation everything right
that really makes me mad group who
no I was telling another person little
while ago
a that people have bought the hydrogen
was the basic building blocks of the
universe because it's so
prevalent but I believe that the basic
building block of the universe is
stupidity
stupidity has a lot of charm to it
but ignorance does this and ignorance
but
am NOT I wouldn't say so never having
been
coolly and I couldn't know emailing the
whole state like that and
I would observe a lot of other people
who are ignorant
and I wouldn't say that they were in a
state of bliss either they were okay
they're having a good time I wouldn't
call it why did that make you angry and
what can you do about that angered
how can you think that well I can change
it you know but that doesn't even being
angry about it
woohoo when with in what way that people
wouldn't
national members to the pain makes me
mad as the exultation a big girl from no
one
celebrating right you know and make that
the national standard
how went the other way it celebrated in
all so records that achieved massive
airplay on radio
all televisions sitcoms arm
most films all and
most commercials
and also in schools talent pool
schools train people to be ignorant with
style
they give you the equipment that you
need would be up
functional ignoramus American schools
do not equip you to deal with things
like a logic
they don't give you the criteria by
which to judge between
good and bad in any medium or format
and they prepare you to be unusable
victim
for a military-industrial complex that
means manpower
as long as you're just smart enough to
do a job
and just dumb enough to swallow what
they feed you you're gonna be alright
but if you go beyond that you're going
to have these grave doubts
that in your stomach problems headaches
make you want to go out and do something
else so I believe that schools
mechanically and very specifically try
and
readout any hint a creative
brought and the kids that are coming out
so what's the alternative but apparently
would agree with that
well remember that the school is in the
only place
the child gets educated if you realize
that
the schools are doing damage not believe
this I believe that schools do a lot of
damage
kids then you should do what you can at
home
to help give them something to
counteract what's happening to them at
school
you mean encourage creativity encourage
them to read things other than what the
school gives them
encourage them to watch things on
television other than cartoons
because I don't believe the television
is all bad and some things that are on
our
are very useful and or
give them some support let them feel
that you as a parent
so want them to be smart not just to be
successful
not just to be all
home a nice little person what you want
them
to develop their thinking apparatus he
did it with you can't your
welcome its cool theater in both
political
private school a private or but maybe go
to a public school before they started
buzzing Los Angeles
I took a mouse is about 60 yeah and best
absolutely
I don't believe that it's it's not like
it doesn't work
it was who will never do the job that
was supposed to do
and basically it's a way for the people
who own those horrible little buses to
make money five for their own private
both what kinda by the course because by
the school
men can cover a range of different kind
to them to come true
the and I think I did cause progressive
academic kinda school early
learned open classroom and what that
means
is over man killed in progress at their
own feet in different area it
I don't think it's that what the school
it's it's pretty structured who who
when you think women should have stepped
in yes
mister when yes you disciplinarian yes
I disciplinarian will not mean that I
think that
unless a person comes in contact with
some former disappoint
learns how it works and Kanban
discipline themselves
we're going to be in a lot of trouble
when they finally go out into the real
world
who might be best ways to be able to
discipline yourself
believe you if nobody said for example
for you won't know what this poem is
and somebody will always have to
inflicted on you
from elsewhere it'll be your forman
it'll be your boss
somewhere will have to keep banging you
over the head to make you do something
for us to be learned what discipline
means you learn that you have to do
things
on time certain things that have to be
done
you learn that the new do it yourself
when you have less conflict with the
rest their environment how do you
enforce it
well same way that you train the dog
No
when developing newspaper and try to one
on the nose and if they do something on
the rug you
we didn't play know if if they do you
think I'll
I'll be over in my kids more than once
or twice mountain
newsletters groucho them Buik things
away from them like no television
you doin jong-il made go the room I tell
them that
we can have their friends over sometimes
it on my cat was television I don't
think carefully
care about that one who for the usually
come up the camera go to a friend's
house so we can have other friends old
in many ways you I am cool
term I can call you can have whatever I
would never do that but in many ways
you are expecting conservative point in
the left eye is raising your children
I said that bill a discipline them a
want to find anything wrong with that
but I mean I don't like
just just because I'm and and the Rock
and Roll industry
okay I have certain views but I think
our traditional where the column
conservator or whatever
that's just the way it is. that way
about you about it to today conservative
whose turn it all really disgusting word
because all the different kinds of
people who claim to be conservative
aren't really there
dramatic but not conservative their a
minute let me stop you right there
because
I know that this is something you feel
very strongly about also
carroll et continue that bad and I will
break away for a commercial for it and
well
come right back to where I laptop you're
right they wouldn't believe right back
with a rep to become a failed
well
we were talking about that being
traditional about things happen being
traditional
and I had used the word conservative
originally pick up on the come across in
your feeling about the weight compared
to come in handy definition above have
changed our
what it means now as compared to what it
meant a when you work and I am
I will don't pay any attention to the
word when I was a kid growing up
mean I wasn't
gunpowder and stuff you know but the
early not real concerned with more than
president gunpowder deeply conservative
because they're
we r where the word
is being used today Israel wrong because
most people who are screaming other
conservative a religious fanatics
and the small majority religious
syndrome not just a single at the moment
you already as
1 and that the but it is the one that
people normally look at there are a lot
of other ones love other companies and
the
television religious and business
whether function at the
today that claim to be conservative but
I really but now I
they respond I as the Muslim sects that
are causing all the problems in the
Middle East they're dangerous
and the wrong but in this kind of attack
your opinion
alright and you know if they did and
that's right
okay you have the freedom in this
country despite your opinion
that brought to my home I continue to
have that freedom and that's why I would
not like to see them continue in the
direction we're going.
you know where their freedom not taking
away their freedom I'm saying that they
are
in what they are desiring to do when
they say that
the only way that you can be alright
just person has to do it by bear book
them that's wrong my recollection when I
was going to school is the constitution
says there's a church and there's a
state
shouldn't mess with each other and if
they do that against the law
unit that where it goes high when you
have a president who has been elected by
the with the assistance very
strong assistance a fundamental
religious groups
who but money on electro like technology
behind his campaign to put them in there
were shaken is pretty good and obviously
now that he's in the White House yes to
help them out because
we can cause a lot of problems for his
programs well as in there so it's a very
dependent feel the same way as the
president was dependent on
military and industrial organizations
with have
supported is long all
his regime the the thing that's bad
about
letting any kind a religious
organization will respond the man was
whether it's curious whether it's
Catholic whether it's him do whatever
to get involved in the business ok
controlling
the it secular life for the population
is that it's got to lead to the same
kind of problems that you have a little
eased
yeah I wanted a final word that you can
now referring to
the reagan administration competitive
using the word ministration use the word
grazing
his original why do you think is a
regime in an administration
because our it administration is
almost a benevolent word you know
will stalk semantically here
administration kinda
is more positive you know it sounds like
it's getting something done
Andalusian is a little bit more
iron-fisted
type and that's why would use that the
linguistic distinction thank the holy
the situation we have right now yeah is
a cartoon president who is an actor
the guy is an actor should have they
should give them an Academy Award and
let it go with that
what a bad thing to be an actor can
after have my you are an actor
a new iMac go do it
you're an actor and you want to be the
present United States have something
going for you more than your acting
abilities I don't believe he has the
intellectual substance
a backup what he says because his lines
are manufactured for
he is surrounded by people feeding
information
not all that good but most with bat
and he super axle out he's reading the
teleprompter is a teleprompter president
you take that support team away from him
he's hollow he's got nothing going for
him is a smiling nice guy
he's a nice guy we got it right we
deserved
what people would say a friend that he's
a musician a
idea he think that he can make these
kind statement and get away with it
minute that they're just said Ronald
Reagan as an actor he shoulda stayed
but if people would say find out but his
dad musician
and you should just stick to his music
I'm sticking to my music
so there's no problem there by this
morning I'm thinking and on your family
well you ask me I would come over and
bang you over the hump but in the case
the winery and you know I think that
goes beyond
it's not me criticizing actors as a
species and saying you may never rise
above the acting profession
you never go on you know if you're an
actor and you are and know something
about foreign policy
and you know something about economics
and know something about the military
and you know something about something
other than
being phony which is what actors get
paid to do
to britain okay I'm if you are equipped
gobi the president I don't think he's
equipped
the only thing he's got his friends in
high places
friends with money and people p.m. stuff
to say
I mean let's be honest about it and
I hope it will then share it with you
that we were wrong
people that live you i think there are
no longer being duped
you know the Emperor's not wearing any
clothes the guys got nothing to offer
you way he smiles nicely with nice guy
okay won't hate him I just think he's
not equipped to be the president
he was elected by 17 percent of the
population
you know in an election where the people
who offered a choice between Tweedle Dum
and Tweedle Dee
humint we'll be got it obviously you
feel strongly about that but because
it's something that you like to talk
about I mean you
even there yet what I did and I and
maybe the lesson you have definite
opinions on
here have opinions about it because I
think about it every day it's impossible
what
the Daily News which I watch a lot about
tryin
check up on what's going on in the world
and that's impossible watch news without
having some kind of got reaction to
what's going on
and when I see the prophetic solutions
that are being offered by this regime to
the problems facing
United States economic and otherwise
I I get very angry because they're the
wrong solutions
you know how to solve the economic
crisis tax which churches
tax the churches in all the businesses
that they own and tax them all the way
back to the inception
they should pay their fair share with
the cost around the country
you tax the church's you won't have to
take the food of the bishop the school
lunches
Hispania money there they're making
plenty of money
Jackson nobody in government is going to
stand up and say that it was the most
common sense solution to the economic
problem there's plenty of money owed
by those organizations who claim to be
religious and who are actually in the
real estate business
we're in the supermarket business there
in a chocolate business
there there in a lot of businesses above
and beyond
helping people to get to heaven woohoo
and these are all very
temple the businesses and they should be
taxed the same as the guy who owns a gas
station
we have to break away again I'll one I
know that okay
you raised at like I wanna find out
exactly where you are spies
religion organized when someone is
coming come back to me that
on the web at where r
girl raised Catholic saddened to you
belong to any organized religion now no
I don't pay dues to any organized
religious organizations and
would you consider yourself a little
first and perhaps a little late
and and how to you show that
within your life I mean it's not a
matter showing as anybody
I don't think that by showing your
religious police to anybody that makes
you a religious person
and how do you live it I love it through
my music I love
through way they conduct bubbles what
about the way you lie
conduct yourself with other human beings
who feel a responsibility to other human
beings
it because im the way you handle your
own religion
course and what is that well
as an employer I am responsible for the
well-being of the people who work for me
I take that responsibility seriously as
an entertainer I'm responsible
for delivering the best what I can do to
the audience that has bought a ticket to
see if there was a record that your
my you know I feel a responsibility to
take it seriously and I
act accordingly and what about you
friend in a basic family
because I have any plans and
my neighbors a urologist you don't have
any friend
no I only have so when when you're the
boss you don't have any friends
portable people I find it is known for I
don't know I time for such like that
from whom planet
then who will be a friend well I have
old
wonderful wife and four children like
them they're my friends
say life is a friend world the thing
that's important relationship go if
you're not currently it's not going to
be too fun to live because there's a
difference between being friendly and
being in love with someone
and having that same someone be a friend
royal through
friendship is a very important to
mention I think the marriage was gonna
trip is going to be pretty
dreadful you
when you're not working be just photo
cut yourself off from the rest of the
world and Andrew
here with your family well I'm not
touring I'm at home I live in Los
Angeles but I don't go out Los Angeles
because isn't very
horrible place why do you love them
doing business
a playable and I just stay home I was to
you on my also the recording
from who are concert when London
doing that problem I work I go off on
the road travel around
do this kind of stuff I love very
anti-drug company called but
I had a that start I'm well I would just
never very enthusiastic about
I'll drugs or drug culture and
I'll lysol with done to a lot of people
musicians live work with ways to
affected their lives I saw all while
since I've been
touring for about 16 years I've had a
chance to watch the results
I'll several different phases 0
popular chemical alteration on
the audience as we play room everyone
from all different drug goes on the
charts
and everybody uses a affects the
consciousness a borehole
saying all the population number one
thing at a concert was a ride
story concert know is certain to cause
it
and I remember walking in there and
being so overwhelmed
by the owner as marijuana that
that I could I couldn't breathe you know
it's pretty stupid
by the owner as marijuana that
that I could I couldn't breathe you know
it's pretty sweet deal I got it on sale
no sometimes a you smell of marijuana
but
he said he spoke to the audience a bad
girl about drugs during a pregame show
whole there's one or two songs we do
that are against drugs we have
one song called cocaine decisions which
talks about that
cocaine usage among lawyers doctors and
work from
movie people whom what the net result is
that is
but I don't give a lecture on stage Los
I'm still trying him his right eye
school
2008 who's who thing at all times okay
now on a
the alcohol well I'll
I make a distinction I you know with
alcohol
I'm not a big drinker myself but the
good thing about drugs this being
controlled substances will specific laws
that put you in jail
if you've got it it makes you a criminal
when you use it you know which gives the
government another different type a
leverage over you take it you think that
the textile
senior thing news on no just put your
freedom in jeopardy aside from
what it does to your health and what it
does to mine I believe the government
likes to have drugs on the market place
because it keeps the population
in a very usable state
really believe this summer and
conspiracy absolutely
there's no question in my mind that if
you follow the pyramidal right up to the
top
that there's no difference between the
people
for importing and and the people who are
arresting you for using it
want to feel it from
with it doesn't sound far-fetched to to
world talk about using entire American
community for chemical and biological
warfare testing
who well not over not in mind thanks
anyway other than 5 fetched anyone
well you know that it's been done our
own government has decided to use
certain American cities
to test chemical warfare agents and and
biological warfare agents
on american citizens without their
knowledge just decided to do it because
the time was right
and the air was right and they don't get
it and
you only find out about 10-15 years
later okay
at it if the government can do that to
their people
I was no reason to believe that that
their
above all giving them drugs and
collecting money for those drugs being
used
and having the benefit opus duplication
overpopulation
Brazil something thrown in along with
what a lot of people who feel the same
way you do so there and then I'm going
to fall into that plan anyway you know
if in need
your plan would be correct with a simple
I get asked about drugs so many times
most times why do women really always
asking about drugs on the reason they do
it because I'm such an anachronism
probably the last person
in the United States who doesn't like
them and doesn't use 'em you know you
maybe your per person doesn't do them I
don't know
I just don't enjoy and I don't like what
they do to people think a lot of people
that they feel the same way you do
I mean it's cool feeling they're
definitely the minority because today
doctors get wasted you know that what's
more cocaine before they do open heart
surgery it's called
not our I hope I never get that done
through a rights wasted
we have to grapple with more than a look
at him but we've been talking about a
lot of things that make you angry and
a lot of things a lot areas where you
are very pessimistic
I when we come back on to find out if
there are any areas where you are
optimal get okay with her alright we'll
be back credible
way
on
I what makes frank was at a happy
I have found out what makes you angry I
find out said the things that you don't
like about this country in the world or
anything else but
what do you like or do you have somehow
optimism
so I'll have but much optimism but the
there's a difference in having optimism
and having things that you like it
I like good food when I can find it was
getting very difficult to find
you certainly couldn't tell by your
weight you like football
didn't know I've been sick have yes I've
been I have had the
gastroenteritis for about the last the
eight or nine days so I've been living
on soup and
other nasty confront that stuff about
you
feeling that a No recovering you will
catch its alright over huh
no I wasn't offended that but a very K
10 and not only people who like forget
I'm not very very faithful I like it but
I'm not going to just do anything
because it's so hard to find stuff the
really is prepared well now the worst
good ingredients put together love with
the proper amount of time
by somebody who knows the formula who
loves to cook and instills in the who
their own
Joy of Cooking was a little and this
result this
something beautiful wooden that's hard
to find you know
try to get a good hamburger some clothes
for good food
arctic white like played out makes me
happy when a final
I like good musical performances have
anything all
and any kind of music movies and music
anytime I'm
I hear musicians doing their job right
I feel good and this is also
not something that happens all the time
not mentions don't always perform up to
their maximum cable gold
what else it
mall like to smoke cigarettes and I like
to drink coffee
and I like sex and yeah over Matt
for american if I find an honest
politician someplace on my girl after
all that
pursuing a couple people loved on
television
who I thought said things that were
admirable
I'm mention one to your cell like jungle
and and I was even enthusiastic about
barry goldwater when he was so
doing his little number about the moral
majority which I thought was very
courageous
me even though I couldn't agree with him
on everything mostly says so I can
appreciate that
in fact even went so far as to invite
him through our consular Arizona
would be able to them know he was I
think it was a ham radio convention and
I
woohoo at we'll see I
when somebody does something that I
think it's positive light tell them I
love them all
yeah what about playing a kid find that
they love them
yes I know I love the one about the
future what he hoped that
were all it seems my daughter's decided
the learn to play the drums I hope that
she keeps up with that because I think
through
a good girl drama would be nice room and
it my it
well my son's was interested in baseball
we got to be very good at that now has
decided to
play the guitar and I would kinda like
that would be a position in a few
we weren't sometimes parents don't want
to confirm follow in their footsteps
because they found the
found it difficult I don't think it's a
good as I'm gonna get about
overall I would want to go through the
same how difficult is it what I got to
do with being a guitar player who has
the joy of being able to log in and
turned up going on like that
he should have that but phone in his
life but he wants a
we're going to have to continue this
conversation at the time the time this
