I got it as an Xmas pressie, haven't read it yet (got other thangs to bog me down!), but according to someone who has, he paints Frank as a total and utter bastard. But they were good friends it seems!


Yeah that's the one

Posted a bash of it on my blog
and got a nice comment from Gail Zappa
confirming that Miles had a lame agenda
and expressing her condolences that I had wasted
my time and money

I mean, it's informative in some ways

As an apologist you will of course catch on...
