From Bill and Ted to Frank Zappa



We’re still hoping for another Bill and Ted movie one of these days, but in the meantime, Alex Winter is tackling another great project, a documentary about Frank Zappa.
Zappa passed away in the early nineties, and it’s a shame he left us so young, because the world still needs his irreverence and right on target observations of life. Thankfully, Winter is planning a documentary that Variety tells us has the backing of the Zappa family, and should hopefully be out in the world in 2017.

As Winter said, “There has yet to be a definitive, authorized documentary on the extraordinary life and work of Frank Zappa. I am beyond thrilled to be embarking on this journey. Our tale will be told primarily in Frank’s own words; he will be our guide through this journey.”

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
