A word by Barry
To follow is Chris Federico's in-depth look at Frank Zappa's lyrics and music. Originally published as a freely downloadable e-book at geocities, Chris has graciously agreed to have his work re-published here on KillUglyRadio, as it was my conviction that it merited a more secure online presence. His writing is thought-provoking, thoroughly researched and insightful. A must read. For any and all remarks, feel free to contact the author. Over to you, Chris!

Chris Whips It Out
Hi there. This is a book called Zappology, as you can see from the Big Internet Letters above. It was going to be made available as a book that you could hold in your hands while reading, just like in the old days, but the few publishers who considered it said that I'd have to seek permission to keep the lyrical quotes. Rather than undertaking the daunting task of trying to contact the Zappa Family Trust, I've just continued allowing the book to be freely read, in its entirety, on this site. It wasn't a project started for financial reasons in the first place; the process of writing it was just as much fun as I'd anticipated.
