Frank Zappa plays bicycle on Steve Allen. I know this has been through a couple of rounds of linkage, but it's a must-see, especially if you like Zappa. As a square-looking, preternaturally calm 22 year old, before the long hair and "freak" trappings appeared, his contradictions are strikingly clear. A condescending snot, with a streak of incredible generosity who wanted everyone to be a musician. An arch-controller spouting facts and statistics, who loved to instigate all-hell-breaks-loose chaos scenarios that were an absolute blast for everyone involved. A great American artist, more sadly missed than ever.

Update: Sigh, it's back up again, worse quality. [Part 1 of 4]
