They really don’t make ‘em like Frank Zappa anymore. Visionary, poet, activist, virtuoso... Zappa was all of those things and so much more. Plenty has been written about the great man in the past, but Morgan has found fresh ground to plough here. He “casts the artist as an often-misunderstood figure who critiqued the actions of religious and political groups promoting a predominantly white, Christian vision of the Unted States,” as written in the jacket’s blurb. Morgan digs deep into Zappa’s messaging and examines the occasionally ignored intentions. It’s a rare book that makes us love the subject more than we did going in.
