Zappa researcher Bob Dobbs in conversation with music writer Ben Watson, author of Frank Zappa: The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play.
Very few people know about Frank Zappa’s views on science.
In a June 1968 LIFE article (“The Oracle Has it all Psyched Out”), Zappa talks about the effect of electricity and frequencies on the body.
In this article, Zappa asks:

Bob and Ben discuss the article and Frank’s views.
What the universe consists of.
What we can do with sound.
Why FZ is the best musician at expressing the tactile sensibility of the electric media.
Recorded Feb 18, 2009.
