(352 pages)<br /><br />A great book that focuses only on 1964-70 is "Necessity is... The Early Years of FZ & Mothers of Invention" by Billy James. (155 pages)<br /><br />And of course, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" by FZ himself is essential -- not a complete bio but contains many great anecdotes as well as political/sociological rants.<br /><br />Avoid any FZ books by Ben Watson -- pretentious drivel with tons of factual inaccuracies.<br />matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790967417798299922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376852.post-52211265305536558582013-01-12T13:49:07.665-05:002013-01-12T13:49:07.665-05:00Cheer up, Matt!
