 She is an attractive pariah, with an I.Q. well over 228, with complete mastery of "Br'er Rabbit," any five Indian cookbooks, the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Pat Butram Story (she gotta know all the words to the album!); no interest whatsover in any way in sports, sunshine, deoderant, lip stick, chewing gum, carbon tetrachloride, television, ice cream ... none of that stuff!<br>
-In short -- a wholesome young underground morsel open to suggestion!<br> P.S. [[Wowie Zowie|I don't even care if she shaves her legs]]. Jest about anybody will do if they can dance. I'm not really sure any of this is true. I'll have to check it out a couple of times. Wait! Any girl is all right as long as she doesn't have hair like Bob Dylan, or maybe she could even have that if she knows how to ride a motorcycle. I might even like her better if she can play [[wikipedia:Karlheinz Stockhausen|Stockhausen]] on the piano -- Klaviarshtuck XII.

 '''22. Who are your favorites in music?'''
-In the old days, back before Rock 'n' Roll was what was happening, I used to go for [[Sacco & Vanzetti]]. And as I grew up I found that it got harder and harder to dance to them -- when you get old coordination is more difficult. I had to switch my preference, and now all I really like is [[Gary Lewis and the Playboys]]!

-I first saw Frank Zappa last winter when David Anderle, music world "court painter" and also manager of Danny Hutton, called to invite me to a [[Freak Out!|Freak Out]] recording session. The studio was opened at 1 a.m. on a Friday, and it was soon filled with a couple of hundred kids from the Sunset Strip, [[The Mothers|the Mothers of Invention]], "chorus leader" [[Kim Fowley]], and various guests like [[Paul Butterfield]] and [[Les McCann]]. It went on for hours and everybody participated -- some singing, some moaning, others popping gum into speakers -- I don't think there has ever been anything like it!<br>

 Well, that session and subsequent visits to concerts, and finally the release of the lavish two-lp "[[Freak Out!]]" album sold me on Frank's iconoclastic group. Meeting and talking to Frank personally three or four times always resulted in heavy talk and listening to his amazing collection of electronic music. One day I found out that everybody takes Frank so seriously no one has ever asked him the usual "fan" questions. So one night Frank and I got together with a bunch of fan magazines and picked 48 questions which he answered. So here they are, and here is the incredible living ZAPPA!
