Moon Unit's dad Frank was wild. And she knew it. But she still loves him and laughs about it. What a very healthy human being. Her dad achieved his goal. Emotional intelligence!

Mr. Frank Zappa was a Genius!! He wasn't my Absolute Favorite Musician. But he was ONE of them!! A wiser man than I, once said, "Above all, give me Truth"!! Frank Zappa gave us Truth & Wonderful Music, too.
I can understand someone disliking Zappa's Music . But, as a Musician for 50+ years, I can recognize the combination of Genius & Talent. In his later years, Our Frank composed & recorded Joe's Garage & THINGFISH!! Both Classics, just Dripping & Oozing with Harmonic Talent!! @@SeptemberChild1835
Moon and Dweezil have been shafted by Ahmet and Diva, thanks to a failure of character on their part, and as seed_drill stated, Gail set up the trust. When Dweezil isn't allowed to use the Zaapa name for his tours, or have access to some of his dad's instruments and equipment, that's really a shame.
Moon is the quintessential Libra, beautiful and incredibly charming. She's intelligent and so down to earth. She has a way of making you feel at ease. I could listen to her talk about anything.
@@malcolmthompson597 Hahahaha! Moon squared. Very funny. If I married Sean Penn, I would be Gwyn Penn or Penngwyn (Penguin). Check out my music on CZcams if you get a chance and take care.
@@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."
Zappa stopped touring about the time I started to get into his music so never got the chance to see the great man live, saw Dweezil with a few members of his dads various line ups but would have loved to have seen Frank 😜
Mmm yes. “Why does it hurt when I pee?” classic line - such an insight into the mores of modern society and the intricacies of the human condition. Up with there with the great philosophers of our time. Also, it's "avant garde" you genius. 🙄
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!)!).
when the crowd throws their panties on stage so they can make soup or a quilt.....ya know al malken is somewhere nearby....searching for nice breath.....love ya moon!
I heard he was a really great guitar player . Alice Cooper told a story on his now gone radio show about how Frank had some guitar playing competition against some fan at a concert of his and Frank easily beat this nobody .
I always liked Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Even more so when he appeared before the PMRC Senate hearing as did Dee Snyder and John Denver to basically and very respectfully tell the PRMC how effed up they were. "It's unclear which popular musicians were invited, but the only ones to show up and tell the government this was none of their business were Zappa, Snider, and Denver." - Business Insider. They made a big mistake. Zappa and Snyder mopped the floor with them. Sure the PRMC got the warning labels they wanted, only to have that backfire as fans saw the "warning" label as incentive to purchase material the suits said were dirty. The artists didn't mind at all, all the way to the bank.
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.
@@TheDissident77 I didn't suggest or give you info. But to indulge you, Listen to some of his guitar solos. IE: Montana. 50/50. Pojama People. He was an amazing guitarist.
Playing Zappa's first album, Freak Out, at my girlfriends house in 1966 got me thrown out by her dad.
I don’t blame him.
Wise move. For both of you.

Moon Zappa. What a beautiful person, in every way. You can just tell.
I just painted the interior of my house. I was home alone. The only time I can listen to FZ for any length of time. I listened to a lot of FZ.
Good on you. My wife is a big Zappa fan, so I listen to him any time I want. Our daughter has grown up with his music, so it's normal to her.
She has an amazing smile.
Such a delightful person.
Moon is just great. I love her. Her guest appearance on her little brother Ahmet’s CZcams show “Rocktails with Ahmet Zappa” was great.
Isn't Moon an absolute gem.

Wow that 30 years just flew by.
Great musician and I'm so amazed how well his kids turned out. That's not often the case with such unique personalities/geniuses.
There’s been some ugliness between Moon and Dweezil on one side and the two younger ones, mostly caused by how Gail set up the Trust.
Moon and Dweezil have been shafted by Ahmet and Diva, thanks to a failure of character on their part, and as seed_drill stated, Gail set up the trust. When Dweezil isn't allowed to use the Zaapa name for his tours, or have access to some of his dad's instruments and equipment, that's really a shame.
I love Moon also,..she's almost as sharp as her Dad, and that's saying a whole lot in my book
a mark of the man that he raised such a brilliant daughter, what a great analysis of the documentary form
......and the mother! Probably primarily the mother.
Moon is the quintessential Libra, beautiful and incredibly charming. She's intelligent and so down to earth. She has a way of making you feel at ease. I could listen to her talk about anything.
Love your nails
You must be a Libra
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Beautiful, intelligent, funny and seems very nice. Amazing when you see her interviews when she gets to talk about herself. SHE'S SO COOL.
My first concert was Frank Zappa, Bridges Auditorium, Clairemont, California, April 1971.
Congratulations
@@natural1952lol yeah congrats 🤣
Her speaking cadence is so Frank
She was the original Valley Girl
Yes, it was her voice, isn’t it?
Well, she mocked the original Valley girls. I doubt Moon would consider herself one.

What a beautiful soul!
Rock On Moon Zappa! Thanks for telling your story of your Daddy.
I recall when she was born and named Moon. Even though my name isn't common, I felt sorry for her, but she must like it because she still has it.
Moon is a cool name. And if she was old enough she could have married Keith Moon, and become Moon Moon!

The 4 disc box set is the same set we saw in 1988.

She is sharp as a tack, just like her dad. I loved Frank's music. He was definitely a musical genius and highly intelligent.
Yea… well spoken and easy on the eyes.

I love his original and outrageous style. Breaking all the rules. Outside of the box.

You can really hear her dad in her
What was Shocking???

She's very charming. Nothing like her dadddy.
nothing like you too, obviously.
Jeez. C'mon. Frank always spoke the truth. The fact that she is charming kinda reflects on him, even tho he wasn't around much.
will someone here please tell me who"thorsen" is? the only documentary I can find is the one by Alex winter................wth
Wow. She is still stunning. My goodness.
She's cool
Loved the music, the man..eh not so much
