Frank was a very bright guy.  He is truly missed.

I liked Cavetts interviews. He always tried to get to the true person and let the audience know them as they really are.

Sheik Yerbouti is one of the best albums I've ever heard, musically and lyrically.  Zappa is sorely missed....

I am very glad there was a Frank Zappa.

Zappa would of been an amazing president,the world would be a better place.I like punk,and the new romantic wave bands but Zappa sounds like he wasnt stuck back in the 60's but flowed with the time.Brilliant musician and a man ahead of his time.RIPFrank Zappa.

Man, if only Zappa could see the slime on the TV now...

first inteview i've seen of Zappa and really liking everything he said so far.

Great to see Zappa get some time to talk, and not just "here's the wierdo - goodbye"

His whole attitude reeked of badass and total coolness. He would be my first choice as a partner in a debate, lol, the man was a true genius.

The Slits actually is led by the step daughter of the Sex Pistols lead singer MR J. LYDON (one of my heros). Zappa is a father figure to me, and Johnny Rotton( for those who do not know his real name) is my big brother. BOTH GENIUS IN THEIR OWN WAY. Thank you for the upload.

He is so damn observant and on point mentally. I'm glad that he didn't drink or use any drug, besides tobacco. As a lover of beer and ganja, I know we need someone sober in order to be our own honest critic, as indulgence brings a certain dullness to the mind. Frank provided sharp observations and analysis of rock 'n' roll and the counterculture that kept many of its members from becoming to deluded.

Long live Zappa , RIP .

The fact that Frank liked The Slits & Lene Lovich makes me smile

How many of today's popular musicians would be able to speak as Zappa did? Quite the intellect.

Old Dickey was a terrific interviewer, a very good listener. Often times Frankie had an arrogant tilt when asked questions about him and his music but mr Cavett seems to really be interested in what the man has to say here.

Franck Zappa should have been a great president...The guy have a brain and he used it...Bless him

Spot on about the Pistols and McClaren...Frank style...His new wave assessment is spot on as well

Nice shout out to Lene Lovich..."Lucky Number" is a pretty cool song.

They have Bleeker Bob's on a Seinfeld episode

The band names mentioned at 4:35 are The Slits, Lene Lovich, and Gerry And The Holograms.
