Quotes by Charlebois about Zappa
"My only friend in American showbiz along with Stan Getz. He gave me a nice present by producing my song 'Petroleum'. I believe that he dreamed of being Varèse or Stockhausen at the end of his life. He was a workaholic who hated drugs." - Robert Charlebois, 14 November 2001, Zut boF. [2]
