“What an excellent bio! I didn't really know much about Zappa before reading this. I just figured he was a weird dude, probably on drugs, who made a lot of way-out music. As it turns out, he was a weird dude, who didn't really like drugs, and made a lot of way-out, well composed music, AND was pretty brilliant to boot. He's got a number of fascinating opinions about the philosophy of the world at large and it really makes for a great read above and beyond the enjoyable background stories about making music over the years.”
