Mojo Classic Zappa special

 


Mojo: "To celebrate the 70th anniversary of his birth, MOJO has produced a 148-page special edition in the great man's honour. Inside: the true story of Zappa, the rock star, composer, satirist, activist and guitar hero, including unseen photos, in-depth stories and exclusive interviews."

"PLUS Alice Cooper shares Zappa's advice on dealing with dead chickens ("Don't tell anyone you didn't kill 'em"), Howard "Flo & Eddie" Kaylan on how Frank helped him dodge the Vietnam draft ("Go gay!"), guitar whizkid Steve Vai on what it's like to play with Zappa ("Anxiety wells up in my stomach and I feel like I'm going to shit my pants") and Matt "The Simpsons" Groening on the correct terminology for Frank's facial hair ("It's not a goatee"). All this and 94 Zappa albums reviewed. "

The Surreal People
By Mark Paytress, pp 58-66


"In 1966, The Mothers Of Invention's aptly deranged debut album, Freak Out!, made their leader Frank Zappa a star of the couterculture. But confontational, visionary and intolerant of the herd mentality, Zappa was no friend of the hippies – or his bandmates, for that matter."
