Lucky dog! Worth barking at Barking Pumpkins back then, then; so nice of them; opening their letter must have been a blast! So pleased Moon likes the movie; reminds me of her dad in so many ways; said she preferred the name Moon Unit to the alternative "Motorhead", I agree.
Ain't it though!! I hope she's as happy as she seems. I find myself smiling when I watch her, actually I can't get the grin off my face! I like to imagine that she's happy because of being brought up by such a wise, intelligent, and profoundly sane father... yeah, I know, sex addicted, workaholic who lived on coffee and cigarettes. And yet, look at her!! 😃
Moon Unit's dad Frank was wild. And she knew it. But she still loves him and laughs about it. What a very healthy human being. Her dad achieved his goal. Emotional intelligence!
I can't stand it when absolute strangers think they have any insight whatsoever into someone else's lives. You have no idea what she thought about anything much less her relationship with her father.
@@OldmanCrypto100yeah, intuition and the human connection are really hard to understand when you're miserable and judgmental. Speaking for myself, of course, as I could never understand another human, although I am one.
Actually he wasn't , at all wild!! MIT, He was a genius not only musically but comedic as well! One time while he was playing in Tucson (Yes, I was there!) Mr. Clean his bodyguard came up to Frank whispered , ( allegedly) and Frank threw his guitar on the stage and ran off! It was hilarious claiming to be a death threat, Than a few signs went up saying, Frank The Prank! I will never forget that night and his amazing guitar licks! RIP Oh, Franks buried right next to Roy Orbison in an unmarked grave..
I Saw Frank in the mid 70S and early 80s, being a musician myself I have Respect for his Talent! PS I also Have Respect for Moon and she was Great on 'Valley Girl😊
Mr. Frank Zappa was a Genius!! He wasn't my Absolute Favorite Musician. But he was ONE of them!! A wiser man than I, once said, "Above all, give me Truth"!! Frank Zappa gave us Truth & Wonderful Music, too.
I can understand someone disliking Zappa's Music . But, as a Musician for 50+ years, I can recognize the combination of Genius & Talent. In his later years, Our Frank composed & recorded Joe's Garage & THINGFISH!! Both Classics, just Dripping & Oozing with Harmonic Talent!! @@SeptemberChild1835
She seems really down to earth ...Every time I've seen Dweezil live , he comes across as a very talented , nice humble guy ... I was 8 years old when I found FRANKs music in 1974 and have been a fan ever since ...Live shows were some of my best memories growing up ...And I an thankful for all the material he left us with to enjoy
I was 8 in 70, my first record was just another band from L.A. I went from the partridge family, three dog night to F.Z. deep purple, santana, hendrix, Bowie led Zeppelin over night. I was truly born again
I seem to recall that Frank’s dad taught at one of the Claremont colleges. I have a vintage news article where someone painted a portrait mural of Frank on a wall at Claremont High School. Seems he was revered as a local hero of that time.
Moon and Dweezil have been shafted by Ahmet and Diva, thanks to a failure of character on their part, and as seed_drill stated, Gail set up the trust. When Dweezil isn't allowed to use the Zaapa name for his tours, or have access to some of his dad's instruments and equipment, that's really a shame.
It’s an age old story, ones insecurities and emotions can mess up an unforgettable legacy. If that’s the case about dweezil not being able to use the Zappa name and instruments is true that’s just sad. Any father knows frank would have wanted that
Moon is the quintessential Libra, beautiful and incredibly charming. She's intelligent and so down to earth. She has a way of making you feel at ease. I could listen to her talk about anything.
@@stixx3969 Gave Moon and Dweezil only a 20% share each of Estate while giving Diva and Ahmed 30% each. And the 20% can't touch any of their shares until it becomes profitable.
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". 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 ... It's comical, the level of betrayal."
@@malcolmthompson597 Hahahaha! Moon squared. Very funny. If I married Sean Penn, I would be Gwyn Penn or Penngwyn (Penguin). Check out my music on UA-cam if you get a chance and take care.
I am just reading her book….it is a mesmerizing read for a Zappa Fanatic who used to have Zappa as a role model not only as a composer but also as a social commentator….i still love his music, but I am see him like he wanted to see himself.
Your first responsibility is to your family, secondly, to your friends, and, lastly, to colleagues. I like bits and pieces of Zappa’s music. Mostly, I find it frenetic, chaotic, and silly.
Mmm yes. “Why does it hurt when I pee?” classic line - such an insight into the mores of modern society and the intricacies of the human condition. Up with there with the great philosophers of our time. Also, it's "avant garde" you genius. 🙄
While I enjoyed this film, clearly Alex Winter's: Zappa [2020] is, now, the "be all-end all," top-of-the-heap as far as Zappa documentaries go (and most affecting, effective & affectionate! in its insight, understanding and ability to educate and illuminate (on the subject!)!).
Frank had little to no interest in parenting, Gail did that work. No diss to Frank, but he certainly did not “raise” any of the children. He donated the sperm, provided money, and an example of how to live your life in a fiercely creative, no compromises way.

Wouldn't go that far. Moon Ugly Zappa more like it. Ouch
Am so fortunate to have seen FZ in 1988! I requested Frank, Moon and Dweezil autographs from Barking Pumpkin Records and recieved them!!

" Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?' Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table? "

Moon is just great. I love her. Her guest appearance on her little brother Ahmet’s UA-cam show “Rocktails with Ahmet Zappa” was great.
Wow that 30 years just flew by.
I just painted the interior of my house. I was home alone. The only time I can listen to FZ for any length of time. I listened to a lot of FZ.
Good on you. My wife is a big Zappa fan, so I listen to him any time I want. Our daughter has grown up with his music, so it's normal to her.

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.

I have missed Zappa since he passed. His wit, sarcasm, and artistic voice; all has been much needed in the crazy world we live in.
I like how she does not try to speak like Frank, unlike Ahmet.
