A message to the future by Frank Zappa.
The interview itself was actually very intelligent, I like it especially how he predicted the stagnation of commercially-oriented music by the gradual development of the attitudes and mentalities within that music industry.

Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention play Unto Mononen’s iconic Finnish tango Satumaa live in Helsinki, 1974, by popular demand.
Somewhere over the high seas there is a land
Where a wave laps to the distant shore of Happy Isles
Where the most beatiful of flowers always bring in their shine
There the worries of tomorrow may be left forgotten
Oh if one only could get to that fabulous land
Then I would never leave it like a bird
But without wings I cannot fly
I am a prisoner of the earth
Only by my thoughts, reaching far
I can get there
Fly, my song, there where the fabulous land is gleaming
There where my dearest is waiting for me
Fly, my song, there like a gliding bird
Tell that in my thoughts there is only him

A relevant detail.
During his later years, Mononen suffered of alcoholism and eventually shot himself with a pistol on June 28, 1968. He was 37 years old.
Frank Zappa did have some interesting (because usually unbiased or libertarian) views.
In this segment, likely from an interview in the late 1980s, he discusses the generally negative qualitative development of the music industry in the previous decade, which would condition the state of mainstream media today.
