This week on From the Vault, we spend some time with experimental composer and musician Frank Zappa. Interviewed by Charles Amerkhanian on April 15th, 1991, Zappa speaks about his political philosophy and ambitions - and considers a serious bid for the US Presidency of the United States; he also examines the country's involvement in the Gulf War, the problems with the Federal government, and the promise of Libertarianism.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
