      It's actually kinda sad . He had to tour most of the time to make a living . Moon Unit hardly saw her Dad . It was her idea to do a song with him and she just wanted to spend some time with him . She is one of the oldest kids , which meant she had to be like a second mom of the house while he was gone .

      Not "ahead of his time." He had his own original business model, which no one else copied, and probably never will. I've been listening to him since 1970, at age 14. His business year began on May 1, when he would spend the entire month, auditioning musicians for the coming year. Which would involve 2 tour contracts, 2 to 3 record deals, on whatever projects that interested him. Strictly hired guns, never bandmates. Come next May, repeat. One of a kind, not "ahead of his time."

      @@ladytess23, notice that his band member roster was never the same from year to year, members he wouldn't keep, or wouldn't stay, so many band name changes, down to just his own name, which was simply truth in advertising, since his musicians were merely hired, never stakeholders in any of his projects. I am a musician, playing flute and trombone, a happy combination for many of us, but there was a mean side to him. He referred to horn players as "mechanics" not musicians, and complained about what he had to pay the likes of us. Well, if we're in a band, that's one thing, but if you want us to perform, you pay us what we're worth, by the hour. He so much hated that, you see him hiring an entire orchestra, paying for a week's rehersal, and performance, and losing money on the deal. He gets the acclaim, then complains about how much he had to pay to make that happen ?!?! As much as I love his music, and pay for his recordings and shows, I really don't want to hear his complaints about his expenses over his selfish business model, especially since he's not exactly poor.

    Seeing this makes me realize Frank wouldn't be happy that Dweezil and Moon have been treated dismally after Gail passed away regarding estate control and use of the name Zappa. The estate should be in Dweezil and Moon's hands along with Ahmet and Diva and I'd prefer Dweezil be in charge of the vault instead of others like drummer Joe Travers.

Needed now in the music world?!? The music world consistently rejected him!!! On his album, Absolutely Free, he stated: "You must buy this album NOW. Top 40 radio will never, ever play it"

There's a good reason for that. I recommend anyone who's a fan of Frank's to read Moon's new book "Earth to Moon", it's quite a journey and gives a fuller picture of their family life.

I'd be a stuttering fool trying to talk to Frank Zappa. Much credit to David Brenner to being at ease with Frank and for putting Frank at ease. Moon had some very smart, funny and self-deprecating answers. Dweezil is on his way to becoming a legend as a musician and is one of the few people who really understand Frank's work and can reproduce it accurately. It was a pleasure to watch this interview.
