While the work is well written, and on occassions demonstrates some unusual insights, clearly the less than rigorous account of the life and death of the founding philosopher id detrimental to to overall success of the work.
Gray: Zappa
Depite Uncle Frank's reputataion for radical musicial composition and performance, the book shows him as a relatively uninteresting personality bouncing between the extremes of high art and gutter trash.
Of most interest to this blog is the reported consultation with Dylan (circa ?) in preparing the what would eventually be released as Infidels, an album which Gray (at this point) considers minor.
