Time:

I will readily admit that, coming in, I was
not really a fan of Frank Zappa. I have always found his music, described by
most as very non-conformist, a little too out-there for me. Still, I was
curious, and I went in fully open-minded to learn more about the singer,
songwriter, guitarist, composer, producer, band leader and political activist
that was Frank Zappa.
In the end, I am glad I watched. This
documentary is filled with interviews given by Zappa and with live
performances. It gives a rare glimpse into the mind of the very complicated man
that he was, all the while keeping a bit of mystery. After all, Zappa always
seemed a little too in control to divulge absolutely everything. I particularly
loved that part when Zappa went against Tipper Gore and her group of uptight
ladies.
I highly recommend this particular title.
