An Interview with Frank Zappa
Miles, unpublished, November 1970
This interview recorded at Rattner's on 2nd Ave, New York City, on the 14th November 1970. After we'd eaten we escaped the rude noisy waiters by returning to the Fillmore East - next door - and continued backstage in an empty dressing room. We spent most of the time discussing the film of 200 Motels a two-hour musical which United Artists had agreed to back with a budget of $630,000.
