He always has just the right ratio of moustache/goatee to whatever his current hairstyle was, as well as his striking profile, made him a big hit with the ladies...I've heard him talk about the clap like it's nothing. That's honesty, my friends.

@@SonoSuono123 I agree. He had unassailable personal ethics, and he was a devoted husband and amazing father. Zappa was the kind of man I always aspired to become. I just didn't have his immense and unique talents as a musician. But the stuff I am good at, I'm pretty damned good at. So I try to be as much the Frank Zappa of my thing as he was of his, and I feel like that effort is good for me and the people who rely on me.

@@SonoSuono123 I feel as though I’ve attained near-FZ-levels of achievement in my thing. It just isn’t musical. I won’t go into what it is, just for the sake of privacy, but I give Frank a lot of credit for helping to turn me into who I needed to be in order to accomplish all of it. Even if you’re not a musician or a composer, Zappa was a fantastic example for anyone. If you apply the kind of devotion to what you do that he did to everything that attered to him it would be hard to avoid success. And I made sure that a lot of people I mentored along the way got turned on to Frank Zappa for that very reason.

Frank started writing on the cloth napkin. The waiter said. Sorry sir. You can not do that. Frank said. F off as he threw the napkin and then signed the tablecloth and gave it to my friend.
