I came across a video of Zappa being interviewed by Mike, likely from the same show. In every interview, Zappa bombards the interviewer and audience with profound wisdom that no other artist could ever address as plainly and skillfully as he could.

From my reading he was a uncompromising guy, and I guess if he wrote something, he expected the best to be able to play it to his satisfaction...

"The best" included well-known artists he befriended along the way, like Flo & Eddie, The Monkees, Neil Innes & the rest of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, and others he met at Woodstock and Montreaux.

will never forget when this Valley dude heard this for the first time - was listing to Rodney Bingenheimer, and me and my Val friends just stared in slack-jawed amazement at the radio.

The phones at KROQ rang off the hook, so Rodney actually played the song AGAIN later in the show.
