It's not... We don't play late enough
for everyone to be drunk and not care.

1:11:05
That's how I feel.
1:11:16
- So, come on. Let's do this.
- All right.

1:11:22
As far as the kids go,
I met them in Philadelphia.

1:11:24
I was on tour
with Project/Object last year.

1:11:28
When we got to Philadelphia, they said,
"Oh, here's this guy named Paul Green...

1:11:33
with these kids,
and they play Frank Zappa music.

1:11:36
And they're from
the age of nine to 17."

1:11:38
And I went, "And they do what?"
1:11:41
"Yeah, they play Frank Zappa music. "
"Oh, really? Which songs do they play?"

1:11:44
And they gave us a list of the songs,
and I went, "No, they don't play that. "

1:11:47
- Good.
- One, two, three, four.

1:11:54
And all I can say about
the effect that it had on us...

1:11:58
is that, you know, we could have
captured a lot of flies in our mouth...

1:12:01
because we stood there
and listened to them like this.

1:12:10
I know what I had to go through
to learn those songs.

1:12:13
And for them to learn them and be able to
perform them at the level that they do...

1:12:17
you know, it's quite inspiring.
1:12:19
And yes, I think it will be
an historical event...

1:12:22
that I play with them
on "Inca Roads" of all songs.

1:12:39
It helps me understand
a lot of what I did with Frank on the...

1:12:44
on the albums that I did.
1:12:46
It helps me to understand,
you know...

1:12:49
why I had intuitions
to do it a certain way...

1:12:53
or why, you know, I had such a level
of tenacity and, you know, intensity.

1:12:58
Because I was preparing
teaching tools for them.
