Frank Zappa Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read.” Frank Zappa.

Frank Zappa was one of a kind. There will never be another like him. RIP Frank Zappa, We will miss you greatly

I saw Frank Zappa perform three times. Everytime I find another Zappa vid, I feel incredibly lucky that I had those experiences, and very sad that he's not around. He said in one of his last interviews that he didn't care if he was remembered. Well, he will be, and for a long time to come.

Frank could care less that he was inducted

His smile when Steve Allen tells him "never do that here again"

RIP Lou Reed. thank you for this great speech

Zappa, pure genius, way ahead of his time, may be appreciated 100 years from now. Created a vast library of music and more.

Frank Zappa was to music what Andy Kaufman was to comedy. Even if you think you know, you arent really 100% sure.

I’m 23 and discovered Frank Zappa last year and I’m happy it was sooner than later! What a musical genius in every way!! Wish he was still around today! I saw Dweezil play live a month ago and he was just fantastic! Zappa taught him well!

Hail to a musical genius. Many people didn't get him but he was awesome!!!

Frank Zappa gets in 2 yrs after his death. LL Cool J gets in while he's alive. King Crimson still isn't in. This place is a fucking joke.

Neil Young with the standing ovation. nice.

The first person to stand up: Neil Young. Zappa left us at age 53...we need him so much now.

I will always remember Frank. He touched my life in a way no other artist has even come close. He was brilliant.

"I'm a little dyslexic and um, earlier I freed my ass and I'm hoping that my mind will follow" Great googly moogly! How can she seem sad and still be so funny. And she managed to drop a Funkadelic ref too!?!

I know ZAPPA taught me things at an early age...I found a box of lps in the trash when I was 8 or 9 (1973-74) This box was loaded with ZAPPA, BEEFHEART, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, Herbie Hancock , PFUNK I HAD BEEN BLESSED AS A CHILD

Frank was a true visionary and an iconoclast. He's possibly the single most important solo cult artist of all time.

I knew Lou Reed in the early days. He lived in my building. He was awesome! Worked at Max's for awhile and met all the great ones back then.

Frank Zappa. Mentor and Guru. Seen this many times and still I have tears. Thanks Frank.

Seeing his '93 Today Show interview nearly brought me to tears. A man so brilliant, yet so humble, was lost far too soon.
