An autobiography of mostly hilarious stories…fireside war tales from the big bad days of the rockin’ sixties…primer of the sonic avant-garde, the book bashes favorite Zappa targets and dashes a few myths about the man. – Vanity Fair

The brash and outrageously funny autobiography of music legend Frank Zappa. Here is the real story of how he became the state of the art in weirdness, as only he can tell it: wild rock ‘n’ roll road stories, confrontations with bureaucratic idiocy, and more. Black-and-white photographs and line drawings throughout. In this volume it’s clear that Frank Zappa is a great writer but if you’re after a discography or blow-by-blow of Franks history then this isn’t the book for you. Instead you have insights into the way his mind works and some profound truths about the music business in recent history. It’s also very, very funny. If you are a full-on fan of his, then this book will entertain in you in the same way that his music does.
