    Mazeltov bubbelah! This gave me great nachus and I agree with Ron. This is one of the best I've seen as well.

    Probably the best documentary on the man I've ever seen.

    I loved how Frank explained how he discovered Edgar Farese and then picked up a $1.99 album of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," and thought to himself how it would be cool for someone to find the missing link between the two. I've never heard a better, more succinct description of his work.

    This could very well be my favorite music documentary period.

    Thanks, listened to my Zappa collection all day after watching last night.
    Think I need some more Zappa.
