help of Peter Occiogrosso. The
book is a
narrative of
Frank Zappa's life from his
early (and rather hillarious) family life, his early
music influences, his role in the
Mothers of Invention, his
solo career, his fight agaist
censorship and the
PMRC all the while
speckled with anecdotes that
range from extremely
humorous, to
insightfull, to
political.
The book is
dedicated to Gail (his wife), the
kids,
Stephen Hawking, and
Ko-Ko.
