FUQ = Frequently Unasked Questions
In 2020, to celebrate 20 years of bringing
Zappa news and spoos to the masses via my Idiot Bastard Son
website (www.idiotbastard.com), I posted twelve 'for-one-month-only'
essays. These provided answers to some of those questions that
no one ever asks: about Frank's family, friends and those he
worked with; the significant women in his life; the people who
photogtraphed him; and other random stuff.
Yes, I gave a dozen FUQs (Frequently Unasked Questions)!
Here are most of those - slightly updated and modified - together
with a few other articles (including one about Frank's brief
stint as a beat poet) that I have posted at IBS.
Over 25,000 words in a spiffy little password protected PDF
file. Read it on your phone, laptop, Kindle, or print it out
and staple it to your neighbour's bird table. Whatever.
For every copy ordered, the Idiot will donate one pound to Prostate
Cancer UK.

Updated, modified and expanded 2nd edition under slightly changed title. 100 copies printed.
Here are all of those - updated, modified
and expanded with a few other articles (including one about
Frank's brief stint as a beat poet, plus new ones about Joni
Mitchell, Pee-wee Herman, Nervous Norvus and Naploeon Murphy
Brock & Nolan Porter) - and new artwork by ArtForDinosaurs.
Over 30,000 words in a cheesy little home-made paperback book.

And I am now working on a second volume!
