Some more Frank facts. His first passion was making home movies. His musical idol was Edgard Verese. He went to prison over a fake sex tape. He rarely/never indulged in drugs or alcohol. Coffee, cigs, and sex only. He didn't like to socialize and always said he had no friends. His only hit song was sung by his daughter, Moon. He inspired a revolution in Czechoslovakia. He lived to make music. Music is the best. Dweezil, his son, is named after his wife's toe. His release "Jazz From Hell" an instrumental album got a 'parental advisory' sticker for using the word hell. |

| Interesting facts about Frank Zappa. Most every artist is like that, with a lot of things we don't know about them that surprise us. One thing for sure, there has never been nor there will ever be another Frank Zappa. |
