You know my dream, right?
Rolling Stone magazine, 2007.

:29:05
Where did all these bands come from?
And they start tracing people back to me.

:29:08
And all of a sudden there's this
new movement of significant music.

:29:15
As an educational tool,
it's ended up being perfect.

:29:17
I'll cast a kid. I'll say here, you are
assigned to the hardest Zappa song ever.

:29:20
Then, when they don't have it
after a couple of weeks...

:29:23
I'll say, "What are you doing?
:29:24
What are you doing? Are you watching TV?
Go practice your song. "

:29:28
So, never do I indicate,
"You shouldn't be doin' this. "

:29:30
So they think,
"I can do this if I just practice. "

:29:33
And then they do practice.
And then they can do it.

:29:35
So the next thing you know,
we're playing Zappa tunes...

:29:37
with saxophones and xylophones...
:29:39
and vocal harmonies,
and, forget what the question was.

:29:42
I think after you listen
to music like Frank Zappa...

:29:45
and you play it, and you've like,
"Yes. I can master that song. "

:29:49
And then you listen to, like, 311,
you're like, that's such a simple song.

:29:54
It's really an honor
to be a part of something like that.

:29:57
And I'm so excited that Paul is actually
putting this out there and saying...

:30:02
"Hey, guys, look at
what these kids can do. " You know?

:30:16
Zappa's gonna continue from now.
It's gonna be the, you know...

:30:19
You practice, you get in this.
You get in this, cool things happen.

:30:25
If you're not gonna work for me
and you're not gonna listen...

:30:28
I have no use for you. Okay?
:30:33
And the people who do work for me,
I'm gonna fuckin' hook up so awesome.

:30:38
The Zappa kids are playing the Trocadero
three times between now and June 1.

:30:41
Okay? We're playing
Borders bookshop on Saturday.

:30:48
We're gonna rock
the fuckin' bookshelves.

:30:51
I'm takin' 'em to Germany, okay?
:30:55
We got asked to play
the Zappanale Festival in Germany...

:30:58
which is, like, this huge,
just, crazy Zappa festival.
