Alex Winter has a huge task ahead of him as he tackles Frank Zappa documentary



Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure star Alex Winter is trying to wrap his head around rock legend Frank Zappa's vast archive as he starts work on a new documentary.

Speaking to WENN at the premiere of concert film Roxy: The Movie on Wednesday (14Oct15), Winter confessed he has a huge task ahead of him as there is hours upon hours of unseen Zappa footage available for him to use.

"It is massive, but you construct a structure and then you look for gold and then the gold tells you where to go," he says.

...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.
