Here's what Moon had to say about it - "It's complicated enough to be grieving the loss of a mean mom. And then to find out she was meaner than I could have possibly comprehended ...

I always liked Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Even more so when he appeared before the PMRC Senate hearing as did Dee Snyder and John Denver to basically and very respectfully tell the PRMC how effed up they were. "It's unclear which popular musicians were invited, but the only ones to show up and tell the government this was none of their business were Zappa, Snider, and Denver." - Business Insider. They made a big mistake. Zappa and Snyder mopped the floor with them. Sure the PRMC got the warning labels they wanted, only to have that backfire as fans saw the "warning" label as incentive to purchase material the suits said were dirty. The artists didn't mind at all, all the way to the bank.

I heard he was a really great guitar player . Alice Cooper told a story on his now gone radio show about how Frank had some guitar playing competition against some fan at a concert of his and Frank easily beat this nobody .
I believe that you might be mistaking popularity for quality. Taste in music is subjective, of course- but genius does seem to me to have a certain undefinable sound. Listen to some Frank Zappa, and I don't mean on your phone.
@@TheDissident77 I didn't suggest or give you info. But to indulge you, Listen to some of his guitar solos. IE: Montana. 50/50. Pojama People. He was an amazing guitarist.

She’s got that same vibe you get with all these neglected children of celebrity egomaniacs. All a bit fake laughter and gushing over their parent that basically chose their career over them and kind of abandoned them, and can’t escape being defined by that parent and never really recognised as people in their own right. Sad really.

Playing Zappa's first album, Freak Out, at my girlfriends house in 1966 got me thrown out by her dad.
I don’t blame him.
Wise move. For both of you.

Moon, beautiful.
Great musician and I'm so amazed how well his kids turned out. That's not often the case with such unique personalities/geniuses.
There’s been some ugliness between Moon and Dweezil on one side and the two younger ones, mostly caused by how Gail set up the Trust.
