'''Charles Ash''', A.K.A. '''Chuck Ash''', was a state trooper for the [[Pennsylvania]] State Police, who was also active as a TV interviewer.

==Frank Zappa==

On 3 November 1981, Ash interviewed Frank Zappa at the Mayfair Regent Hotel in [[New York]] City. <ref>https://www.donlope.net/fz/videography/1981-84.html</ref> On 14 February 1988, Ash interviewed Zappa again at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. <ref>https://www.donlope.net/fz/videography/1985-93.html</ref> Ash and Zappa got along well, since they shared a similar outlook on [[drugs]] prevention. He attended a Zappa concert in 1988. Ash was also close with Zappa's bodyguard [[John Smothers]] and his wife Freckles.

==Frank Zappa about Chuck Ash==

During ''[[They're Doing the Interview of the Century, Part 1]]'' (April 1990), by [[Eric Buxton]], [[Rob Samler]] and [[Den Simms]], Zappa talked about stores that refuse to sell his music and mentioned Chuck Ash as an informant:

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"Well, actually, the guy to talk to about stores that won't stock my stuff is Trooper Ash, Chuck Ash, because he's gone to stores in Pennsylvania that just refuse to carry it. Did you meet Chuck? He was there in [[Washington]] D.C. He was a Pennsylvania State Trooper that did the interview with me ..."''.

'''Den Simms:''' '''I saw you talking with him. I was aware of him being there, yeah. But I haven't met him personally.'''

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"So we'll give you his phone number. I mean, aside from being a State Trooper, he's also a fan, and ..."''

'''Eric Buxton:''' '''That's a great interview.'''

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"Yeah, a really good interview."''

'''Den Simms:''' '''You did an interview with him back in '81 or something ...'''

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"I've done two tapes with him that have been used in the Pennsylvania school systems."''

'''Den Simms:''' '''Yeah, I remember from that earlier interview that he, uh, ... I found it kind of curious because he is a Pennsylvania State Trooper, I kinda thought, "Is this gonna lead into questions about drugs?" And I know what your views on drugs are ... .'''

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"That's what it was, exactly. About drugs."''

'''Den Simms:''' '''That's kinda what I assumed it would be used for, part of a ... somethin' for the kids.'''

'''Frank Zappa:''' ''"Well, they had a big disclaimer on it that these were Frank Zappa's views and not (laughter) the views of the Pennsylvania State Police."'' (laughs)

I had a little goatee and a little moustache, and I used to take my guitar with me to school - it was not electric - and spent my time between classes plunking around on that.

 '''FZ:''' I hadn't been raised in an environment where there was a lot of music in the house. This couple that owned the chili place, [[Opal]] and Chester, agreed to ask the man who serviced the jukebox to put in some of the song titles that I liked, because I promised that I would dutifully keep pumping quarters into this thing so I could listen to them. So I had the ability to eat good chili and listen to "[[Three Hours Past Midnight]]" by [[Johnny "Guitar" Watson]], for most of my junior and senior years.

 The album was commissioned by [[Nick Venet]] of [[Capitol Records]]. It had been assumed that Zappa was contractually free to compose and conduct, since [[MGM Records|MGM]] had only signed him as a musician and vocalist along with the rest of [[The Mothers]]. [[MGM Records|MGM]] disagreed, threatened to sue, and finally bought the master tapes. As [[Capitol Records|Capitol]]'s engineers had reworked Zappa's original edit he had to reconstruct the album, assisted by [[Gary Kellgren]] at [[Mayfair Studios]] in New York City.

+<blockquote> ''"For some reason he didn't want to stay in the house, and so he took up residence in the garage -- with  [[Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood|Motorhead]] (this was before Motorhead moved in with me). It was winter when they lived out there and, since there was no toilet in the garage -- and not wishing to brave the elements -- the lads relieved themselves nightly into some of the Mom's mason jars, lined up along the garage wall ... and on a few of those cold winter nights, Kenny and Motorhead hosted a few games for the other fun guys in the neighborhood. Eventually, the beer took effect, and everybody started reaching for the jars.... Many games later, the boys ran out of jars.  The solution to this problem came in the form of a large earthenware crock ... jars were poured into the crock ... Eventually, Kenny moved back into the house, and Motorhead moved in with me. One day, a few months later, Motorhead visited Kenny and, just for old times' sake, took a peek at the crock in the garage. Lifting the board which covered it, they beheld several 'denizens' swimming in the piss -- unknown 'things' that looked sort of like tadpoles. Kenny fished one out and plopped it on the shop bench. It had a tail, and a head which Kenny described as being "about as big as your little fingernail -- white, with a black dot in the middle of it. . ."  Motorhead poked it with a nail and "some clear stuff came out."  Proud of their scientific discovery, they informed Dink. They were then instructed by the bewildered furniture salesman to "pour that whole damn crock down the toilet!," which is what they did."'' - Frank Zappa in [[The Real Frank Zappa Book]]</blockquote>

-The first release for the R&B label was Jackson's song "Hearts Of Stone".

The song would later be recorded by [[Elvis Presley]]. R&B Records soon sold the group's contract to Imperial Records where they would release three records, including a Zappa favourite - [[Angel In My Life]], another Jackson composition, before disbanding in 1956.

+'''William Seward Burroughs II''' (February 5, 1914 – August 2, 1997), more commonly known as William S. Burroughs, was an American novelist, essayist, social critic, painter and spoken word performer. His signature novel was ''[[Naked Lunch]]'' (1959).
 Much of Burroughs' work is semi-autobiographical, drawn from his experiences as an opiate addict, a condition that marked the last fifty years of his life. He was a primary member of the Beat Generation, an avant-garde author who affected popular culture as well as literature. Burroughs is widely admired for his uncompromising writings about his bisexual lifestyle and heroin use. [[The Beatles]] included a photo of him on the album cover of ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'' (1967). He was admired by Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, [[Lou Reed]], [[David Bowie]], Brian Eno, [[Genesis Breyer P-Orridge]], Laurie Anderson, [[Tom Waits]] and [[Kurt Cobain]].
 In 1984, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
 William S. Burroughs is also mentioned and thanked in the liner notes of ''[[The MOFO Project/Object (Fazedooh)|The MOFO Project/Object]]'' (2006) album. <ref>http://donlope.net/fz/notes/The_MOFO_Project_Object.html#Contributors</ref>

 This last novel's title lent itself to the formation of ''The Nova Convention'', a series of New York seminars attended by beat-poets, novelists, essayists, social critics,  spoken-word performers and musicians, with William S. Burroughs at the helm. [[Biography|Frank Zappa]] attended one of these performances in [[The Nova Convention: Entermedia Theater, Dec 1978|December 1978]] and read [[The Talking Asshole]], from Naked Lunch.
-Burroughs wrote a covering article for the DVD release of the movie ''Naked Lunch'' (filmed by [[Wikipedia:Naked Lunch (film)|David Cronenberg in 1991]]) in which he said; "...In 1979 Frank Zappa came to me with the concept of 'Naked Lunch' as an off-Broadway musical. This struck me - and still does - as a pregnant idea, but it was not to be." They remained friends and FZ sent a dozen roses to Burroughs for his 70th birthday in 1984.

 FZ's use of caricature, satire and parody in his work has similarities to those of Burroughs. In Naked Lunch Burroughs exposes the pitfalls of America's consumerist state, and the overall human addiction to control. Its sub-plots of taboo fantasies and drug-addiction, peculiar and monstrous creatures, eccentric personalities and corruption help unmask mechanisms and processes of control, but led to much controversy among American readers.
