Summary
Frank Zappa Head and Beard: An Autobiography
With the help of Peter Occhiogrosso
If you ever wanted to be a rebel, Frank Zappa spoke to you at least once in your life. You saw him on TV, social networks or somewhere else, his elongated head with mustache and beard and piercing black eyes looked at you from the screen and mocked you, and those inside the screen, but also the whole context, everyone. The message he conveyed to you is: it's okay to make a fool of yourself and others, as long as you don't have bad intentions (such as those in power, in directorial positions, department heads, orchestra speakers, etc...) and you love music, which will enable you to learn and understand the world. In his amazing autobiography, which he originally published a few years before his death, Zappa narrates literally everything: music, his childhood and growing up, the entertainment industry, his philosophical and practical view of art, politics, religion, family, censorship and the ills of - above all - American society, which from today's perspective looks like an accurate diagnosis made in the early stages of a syndrome that is already quite advanced. This book is an indispensable encyclopedia of rock and roll, a lexicon of wisdom of the anti-establishment genius and inventor of the DIY principle, a sworn opponent of all forces and the author of 130 albums of the most diverse musical styles united in the unforgettable figure and work of the Don Quixote of the alternative scene, Frank Zappa.
