If anyone hasn't read it I highly suggest reading his autobiography. I've read it a couple times, it's crazy interesting.

i'm a huge zappa fan and i just got an MT-68, so i was pretty excited to see this, so you'll understand how funny i found it when he fired that thing up and played the preset accompaniment and not "G-Spot Tornado." i miss frank a lot. his autobiography is one of the best books you'll ever read, even if you don't like his music, i highly recommend it

I am on a really big Frank Zappa kick right now. I just finished his autobiography and was enraptured with how he viewed the world and music and I started to really get into his music.

Fans, and even non-fans will also enjoy The Real Frank Zappa Book by FZ/Peter Occhiogrosso. Published in 1990. Good stuff.

Responding to a Zappa quote with another Zappa quote. You should read his book, he was a tremendously fascinating man.

To those who have only heard his wacky stuff: give this a listen. Watermelon in Easter Hay. The first song I had a real emotional connection with. I teared up listening to it the first time, and almost still do. In part bdue to the context on the album Joe's Garage, but even out of context the song is just beautiful.

If you are a Zappa fan I highly recommend reading The Real Frank Zappa Book, his autobiography, if you haven't already. Gives some insight into his though processes and what he went through to do what he did.

Zappa's autobiography is pretty good.

Start with this, a full on telling of what really happens in the business. Here is the end.
