        Frank Zappa: Eat That Question

        https://open.spotify.com/episode/2uwMwS9ixL4TKqtKsYWwuQ

        The official audio companion to the Sony Pictures Classics documentary, EAT THAT QUESTION: Frank Zappa in His Own Words, produced and hosted by Paul Chuffo (Joyride Media).

        EAT THAT QUESTION is an hilarious, all-archival footage portrait of legendary rock star / composer Frank Zappa – from his 1963 clean-cut appearance on The Steve Allen Show, to full counter-culture freaky regalia, as leader of the Mothers of Invention.  

        Besides Zappa’s own words excerpted from the film, content includes comments from his family (daughter Moon Zappa), friends (Chuck Ash), bandmates (Mike Keneally, Al Malkin) and fans (Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee), from interviews conducted exclusively for this project upon the film’ 2016 theatrical release.

        Click play button above to hear the spoken content only on this page. Full Spotify Music + Talk version with these segments and 20 Frank Zappa classics is available only on Spotify.

        The film EAT THAT QUESTION: Frank Zappa in His Own Words is now available for rent/buy streaming from many providers.
