a few days ago i watched a sweet little documentary about zappa on youtube.
some young austrian journalist started their first interview before a
concert with the question "why did you come to the concert in a
cadillac?".
this starts a zappa-rant on life and bad interview questions.
after the concert, zappa convinces the boys about the cadillac thing by
letting them drive the cadillac - and they loved it. zappa took over the
filming: he staged a scene ending with a band member spanking journalist
rudi with a frying pan ("one time for each year of your miserable life").
pure zappaesque joy!
