Billy Connolly
Billy Connolly (born 24 November 1942) is a Scottish comedian, musician, presenter and actor.
He states in his live stage performance in the series Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia that he is a fan of Zappa. He adds that he used to pass Zappa's house, wishing he could have met FZ. He recalls that Gail Zappa told him that Zappa was an admirer. Connolly appears frustrated at this missed opportunity. He also talks of Zappa being President of the US with glee! He once quipped that had Zappa become US President he would have tried to become Prime Minister in the UK.
"After Frank died, Billy was walking the dogs past Frank's house when Mrs. Zappa came out. 'Are you Billy Connolly?,' she asked. 'Frank was your biggest fan.'"
Billy Connolly was mentioned and thanked in the liner notes of The MOFO Project/Object (2006) album. [1]
