I've heard that he was drug free....well, assuming that you don't count coffee and cigarettes as drugs. He may have drank i don't know. I have a video of him chastising an audience member that had offered him a bong full of weed.
And Hot Rats is a great freaking album. Willie The Pimp is definately my favorite from that album. Captain Beefheart is awesome!

Yeah, he didnt use drugs. He tried weed, I dont know about any trips. I dont think he stopped band members though.
It is a trip in itself to think someone could make such psychedelic music without imbibing once in a while.

I don't think it's so strange actually, he was pretty much "out there" all the time anyway... There's no need for psychedelics to be creative!

How many albums? More like 150. Then he and his band, The Mothers of Invention, put out about the same. Zappa had his own studio and was able to spit out albums like crazy.

I heard the other day that Zappa did not smoke weed, nor did he allow anyone in his band to, anyone know anything about this?
All of these years later and I am finally getting into The Grand Wazoo. How in the hell did I miss this?

I literally just stepped away from a movie on amazon prime: "Frank Zappa - Freak Jazz, Movie Madness & Another Mothers"
What a coincidence. and yes it is good.

I watched that documentary. It was pretty good, but honestly that was probably the least interesting portion of Zappa's career. I followed that documentary up by listening to Waka Jawa, The Grand Wazoo, Hot Rats, and Overnite Sensation. I've now doubled back to Waka Jawaka and might repeat the whole set.

Really love this live version of Zomby Woof. Dweezil has really done a great job keeping his father's music alive.

Hard to believe that Freak Out! is 53 years old today. Several songs on this album could be released today and sound new. Not to mention the lyrics on a song like Trouble Every Day that are still relevant today.
