Brilliant cheers for the heads up.

oddly this Zappa documentary was produced by Glen Zipper?

Why do Americans have such cool names?

Its also available on Iplayer after Friday evening.

I think you will find the family were in fact quite normal. Frank once said of the choice of names, "it's not their christian names which will cause them trouble, it's their surname".

Interesting doc, probably impossible to list all his works in two hours. I recall the Real Frank Zappa Book being a very good read.

It's not 'Moonunit'. It's just Moon. Unit is her middle name referring to her family unit Zappa. Common misconception.

I'm not really a fan but I can see his influence on music and it's a good doc. His music is mostly unlistenable for me though!

In a similar vein has anyone seen the new Velvet Underground doc on AppleTV yet?
