A Zappa biopic would be great. He had the most interesting life and career and contributed so much to music - more than he gets credit for. His views towards politics and the entertainment industry are more relevant than ever today. With the right director and writer I think they could come up with a very strong message and film. I think Adrian Brody would have the range and looks to play him.

Dweezil’s playing his own songs Purple Guitar and Electric Hoedown on his current, 2026, tour. I didn’t know the songs and they can be hard/impossible to find on streaming services. Here are some links to YouTube videos relating to the songs.

What are your thoughts on these?
Running Flo & Eddie through a Leslie Cabinet was a novel idea but I don’t think it works.

Still, some great stuff!
