I believe that you might be mistaking popularity for quality. Taste in music is subjective, of course- but genius does seem to me to have a certain undefinable sound. Listen to some Frank Zappa, and I don't mean on your phone.
That tracking shot of Saul as he listens to William Munney it grabs you,holds you focused on the sturm und drang of this elegy and final statement..he is the audience.
While I enjoyed this film, clearly Alex Winter's: Zappa [2020] is, now, the "be all-end all," top-of-the-heap as far as Zappa documentaries go (and most affecting, effective & affectionate! in its insight, understanding and ability to educate and illuminate (on the subject!)!).
The first time I saw Saul Rubinek, it was in the ST:TNG episode "He Who Has The Most Toys". He wasn't original actor for the part. David Rappaport was cast. They filmed for two days (maybe) when the unfortunate and tragic news that David had unlived himself, they had to quickly recast the part and Saul was that person. Saul was perfect in that part and I didn't know about David being cast in it until years later. Saul continued to bring to the screen many memorable characters, especially in "Warehouse 13" which became one of my favorite shows, and also "Nero Wolfe" with Timothy Hutton and Maury Chakin (RIP, what an actor!)
She seems really down to earth ...Every time I've seen Dweezil live , he comes across as a very talented , nice humble guy ... I was 8 years old when I found FRANKs music in 1974 and have been a fan ever since ...Live shows were some of my best memories growing up ...And I an thankful for all the material he left us with to enjoy
Circa mid nineteen-eighties, Ted Koppel had Frank on discussing his opposition to warning labels and censorship in music. Frank said “ I can’t warn my daughter about weenie-waggers if she doesn’t know what a weenie is”.
She’s got that same vibe you get with all these neglected children of celebrity egomaniacs. All a bit fake laughter and gushing over their parent that basically chose their career over them and kind of abandoned them, and can’t escape being defined by that parent and never really recognised as people in their own right. Sad really.
Frank Zappa was an original real person, id take a back seat to that . my dad is just a doctor. Watching someone follow their heart imagination and dreams is what a parent should be.
@@stixx3969 Gave Moon and Dweezil only a 20% share each of Estate while giving Diva and Ahmed 30% each. And the 20% can't touch any of their shares until it becomes profitable.
Are you referring the terms of the inheritance giving control of the trust to two of the four siblings? The other two got 20% but no say in control. So she and Dweezel need permission from the other two to use Franks work. Not really up to the usual definition of deplorable. A person gets to distribute property as they deem fit. It is a business decision. We have no idea why Gail, the mother set it up as she did, but she had the right to do so, and owes us no explanation. Perhaps, she felt that the two would exhibit better business sense and respect his legacy. But who knows. BTW, the trust was reportedly massively in debt greater than the worth
@@miguelservetus9534- apparently so, but the trustees drew a salary from it, while the debt ensured that Moon and Dweezil never received any dividends. Dweezil took particular umbrage at being ordered to PAY the trust for the right to perform his father's music, and the trust also ordered him to change the name of his tour "Zappa plays Zappa", prompting Dweezil to call it the "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F##K He Wants Tour". Here's what Moon had to say about it - "It's complicated enough to be grieving the loss of a mean mom. And then to find out she was meaner than I could have possibly comprehended ... It's comical, the level of betrayal."
