A tragically ill Frank Zappa talks about Captain Beefheart
With all due respect to the great musician, it seems in this interview in which he talks about his and Beefheart's childhood, he's put on a couple of pounds from what appears to be side effects from prostate cancer treatment as well as appearing weaker which really breaks my heart. Does anybody know the exact date of this interview? I would presume it was sometime in '93/'92. (The interview itself is an excerpt of a Captain Beefheart Documentary which was broadcast in 1994 featuring Zappa post humorously.
