Automatic translation: Frank was the only one who gave us a seat. "There's an ensemble in the music world that everybody makes fun of, and I love them," he said. It was the perfect voice of cynicism. He was messing with the audience, the industry, the guys in gray suits, the hippies, everybody.
He was excommunicated, and so were we. Everyone hated us with great love. He told us, "I'm starting a record label, and I want you to be involved, because it's going to be a place for all the indecent."
I witnessed how he worked in the studio. He had a style you could never imagine. Every tiny sound, every little "mistake", every squeak, every improvisation, every fart on Zappa albums is written.
It was 1968 or 69, I went to a club called The Experience. Mike Bloomfield was there, Hendrix was there, Elvin Bishop was there. All these guitar masters went on stage and had a solo. Then Frank came on stage. After imitating all of them, he also stole his own style. You should have seen the look on Hendrix's face. Frank's virtuosity shocked everyone.
We became friends with him. It was a feat to be able to make Frank laugh. I would sit next to him like a little mouse and watch how it worked. There was no one like him. Look at the market, there is no one trying to be like him. Because it's so hard to imitate Frank. There is a great need for someone like him right now.
