Frank Zappa joins comedian Robert Klein (and a small studio audience) in 1979 to discuss the first installment of his then-current project Joe’s Garage (inspired apparently by the goofy “don’t take drugs, kids” high school visits from narcotics officers) giving a blow by blow account of what happens in his quirky rock opera.

In Joe’s Garage, a narrator called “The Central Scrutinizer” tells the story of “Joe,” an average everyday kid who forms a rock band in a dystopian America where music itself is against the law.

A newly remastered version of Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage will be released soon by the Universal Music Group. the first 12 albums in the series are already out.
