Baby Snake: I think CB said that Frank Zappa was ‘the only Frank Zappa I knew’. True enough!

Thanks for the link, Barry. Good stuff.

Soon to the end of the movie, CB speak about Zappa. I’m not sure what he was saying.. something about that he want to forget Zappa soon???
Somebody to explain?

If it is true, it will be very dissaapointing to me…

There is a very good BBC documentary on him called “The Artist Formerly Known As Captain Beefheart” which can be viewed at and downloaded from Google Video.
It is in three parts, and its worth downloading the Google viewer to watch it.
Here’s Part I, with links to pts. II & III:

I guess it’s *abrupt* because rock stars dont become artistes. It’s a wonderful film. Wonder why no one has done a straight feature doc. on him though.

“His quite abrupt artistic transformation from working with a microphone to a paintbrush in 1982…”

?
Don was an artist first, and a singer-musician-composer second, no?
WTF is the abrupt transformation?
