Frank Zappa CBS Night Watch - Night Match Debate - Kandy Stroud - August 26, 1985 - From my Master

Holy shit we need Frank back. The man was so far ahead of his time.

Zappa was one of the greatest minds in the music world and outside of it. Such a sad day when he passed away.

I was working for Frank doing security when he did this show with Charlie Rose. The show was edited for TV because Frank obliterated Candy Stroud and it wasn’t shown on the final edit. We stayed at the Regent hotel in downtown DC. And had a great two days.

It's always amazing that they put Frank in the role of the bad guy during most interviews?

'It's the responsibility of the music industry to reform itself' - no, it's up to you as a parent to protect your children from whatever you deem as harmful.

Zappa cleaned her clock in this debate.

When I was about 12 or 13, I convinced a friend of mine to buy the very first Mothers of Invention album, Freak Out!. Neither of us had ever heard of the Mothers nor we were in any way familiar with the album. He gave it to me to take home to listen to it first. I put it on and, frankly, it sort of scared me. It wasn't the kind of music I was accustomed to and I didn't really like it. Not that many years later I became a big fan of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The point being; when I was younger it was apparent that Freak Out wasn't intended for me - it was beyond my musical comprehension - or people of my age.

I miss Frank.

I think it's telling that CBS didn't want Frank Zappa asking questions of her. They chose a side at that point.

Elvis, who she holds up as being an example of a good ol' fashioned singer, also sang, "“I know baby you can't lick it I'll make you give in Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken By the strength and mighty power of my love” and "One Night of Sin." Dude was gyrating all over the place. Come on.

They tried so hard to have a serious opener for the debate, and then comes Frank's look on being described as "singer song writer" at 01:15 followed by Frank's opener: "Hogwash I say: censorship is bad for you, and sex is good for you!" 01:21. That's what we love on Frank!

Ironically, Kandy Stroud and Frank Zappa would make a couple of decent pornstar names.

I would like to thank the PMRC for fighting for "Parental Advisory" stickers on tapes. I knew that if it had a sticker on it, that's the one to buy. I was 13. Nobody stopped me. The stickers actually sold more albums and tapes.

12:29 "I'm a Constitutional fundamentalist. I like it the way it is. I don't want to have it re-written for me by people in Washington." Let Frank's words continue to echo on...

Can someone make a loop of Kandy reciting lyrics over and over? It's HOT! Man I miss Frank and the old KROQ.

Frank Zappa was, on so many subjects, spot on!

Your 10 year old will be shakin his dice in his bedroom no matter what music he’s heard.

Her head would explode if she knew the Judas Priest song probably was about a man

Apparently she didn't raise her children to think.

Look about how Zappa was looking at Kandy the whole time, and all she was doing was look at the camera. She didn't want to have a real discussion, she wanted to promote her ridiculous ideas and not have them challenged. Zappa actually wanted to have a real dialogue.
