I just thought this was a cool YT piece. There is also a poignant clip about Frank's cancer.

Thanks for sharing this
And the code is a play, a play is a song, a song is a film, a film is a dance...
Will there be sequels about Frank Zappa the Son and Frank Zappa the Holy Ghost?

He said often -- in interviews and in his books -- that any kid with "Zappa" for a last name is going to have a lot of issues to deal with growing up, so (like the song "A Boy Named Sue" says) he figured imbuing them with unique first names is simply a way to give them a head start in dealing with their lineage. And it seems to have worked pretty well, up until he died and Gail took over the merchandising and legacy-massaging. By then perhaps Moon (age 25) and Dweezil (age 23) were grown up enough to be immune, but Diva (13) and Ahmet (18) fell under her spell. I dunno, maybe.
The Real Frank Zappa Book was an interesting read, despite the fact that its author has an annoying, idiosyncratic writing style.
