Frank Zappa - a genius beyond music.

I most likely won't do this often, but for once, I'd like to make a post where someone *else* has the floor. In this case, it's Frank Zappa.

While Frank's music is an acquired taste that not everyone "gets", one thing that can't be denied is how obviously intelligent the man was. This is a great interview I just found, which is still relevant today... Frank gives us a runthrough of his knowledge about topics such as nuclear warfare and AIDS.



I also find this one particularly interesting... this is a very different sort of interview, done by the Today Show in 1993 with a bearded, terminally ill Frank. The rather professional-looking interviewer seems completely fascinated by him. :-)
