5. Even at that young age Zappa had the genius in fucking with people's heads

Looks like Steve Allen realizes he's being fucked with.

6. A wonderful piece. God bless him and Steve Allen.

It was SA who helped bring Elvis to national attention, you know and who gave Lennie Bruce that forum, too.

I seriously doubt anything like that will ever happen on a televised chat show ever again.
