First lines

Zappa means 'hoe' in Italian, symbol of the back-breaking toil of the Sicilian peasants who had to scratch a living from the dry stony ground.

About this book

Frank Zappa was a bandleader, guitarist, composer, spokesman for free speech and scourge of moralists everywhere. This book follows that winding path and documents every significant career move Zappa made from his emergence in 1960, up to his death in December 1993.
