Finished Fr 6/13/14
I liked this book a lot and it's a shame that it's so dated. I'm sure he would have been a vocal opponent in America's War On Terror.
He hates unions, and I can understand his problems with 'the musician's union', but when he says, 'unions might have had their place back at the turn of the 20th century', I think he loses it. It's clear that the corporations are trying to push back, and rewrite every single gain made by organized labor. Maybe Zappa would have seen this had he lived to this day.
He claims to be a conservative, but he feels the worst people in American history were 'Joe McCarthy, Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, and Ronald Reagan.
Zappa was definitely One Of A Kind
