      @@davidmolnar8251 I got into Beefheart in my teens, and was thrilled decades later when my teenage daughter (independent of me) discovered Beefheart too (via Trout Mask Replica). And she was amazed that I had actually met Don Van Vliet in '78-- at the concert venue, in the lobby, people walking past him unaware that he was standing there as if he were invisible, and I walked up to him, greeted him, and had a short, bizarre, but friendly chit-chat.

      Are you referring the terms of the inheritance giving control of the trust to two of the four siblings? The other two got 20% but no say in control. So she and Dweezel need permission from the other two to use Franks work.
      Not really up to the usual definition of deplorable.
      A person gets to distribute property as they deem fit. It is a business decision. We have no idea why Gail, the mother set it up as she did, but she had the right to do so, and owes us no explanation. Perhaps, she felt that the two would exhibit better business sense and respect his legacy. But who knows.
      BTW, the trust was reportedly massively in debt greater than the worth

      ​@@miguelservetus9534- apparently so, but the trustees drew a salary from it, while the debt ensured that Moon and Dweezil never received any dividends. Dweezil took particular umbrage at being ordered to PAY the trust for the right to perform his father's music, and the trust also ordered him to change the name of his tour "Zappa plays Zappa", prompting Dweezil to call it the "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F##K He Wants Tour".

    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.

    Frank Zappa was way ahead of his time and his music was too complex for most.

    Frank took penicillin for gonorrhea? Is that what she meant by "amount of clap"?

    I'm a huge fan of Frank's music, but he was a HORRIBLE husband and father. Total narcissist.

    The Howard Stern of music. Life, seen through the eyes of a horny 12-year-old. Musically brilliant, but 500 albums of the musical equivalent of fart jokes got old after awhile.

    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.

      Frank Zappa was an original real person, id take a back seat to that . my dad is just a doctor. Watching someone follow their heart imagination and dreams is what a parent should be.

      @@MultiBmorgan My partner's ex-husband followed his heart, imagination and dreams, and he totally abandoned her and their children, leaving her to basically bring them up with no support whatsoever, emotional or financial, while he galivanted around the world doing what he liked. Is that what a parent should be? Yeah, I think there might be more to it than that. Both him and Zappa were selfish egomaniacs.
