Yes, I was a fan. It was a pity he died so young.

The world lost a good man because Zappa didn't wake up about smoking before it was too late.
Or even because he didn't go to the knife for prostate cancer, as i did ..

Despite sitting at the very vanguard of the 1960s psychedelic movement, Frank Zappa was strongly opposed to drug use. Sure, he had a pretty serious addiction to smoking – one that may have hastened his death from prostate cancer at 52 – but he never touched alcohol, cannabis or any other drug for that matter.
