Issue 1968

We got it high in the desert
By Tony Wilson, p 8

On page 52, Eric Clapton: "I know FrankZappa very well and he's a great guy. Zappa's into a lot of social reform things. He's mainly addressing the older generation through things like 'America Drinks...' and the college kids. He's changing all the time and as players the group are really respected. Talk to anybody like Mike Bloomfield and they all dig the Mothers."
