Frank Zappa had strong opinions about all kinds of stuff, and despite a common misconception that he was a "total druggie" Zappa was actually anti-drugs and a cantankerous buzzkill in real life. And when Zappa was interviewed by Howard Smith of The Village Voice in 1971 he did what Zappa often did best- he talked trash.
He called political consciousness, Grand Funk Railroad and feminism fleeting trends, and said living in New York was like doing time.
And even though he'd prove two of these statements were insincere by producing a Grand Funk album and adding female marimbist Ruth Underwood to The Mothers Of Invention fans knew to take Zappa's rants with a grain of salt.
