To have a daughter, at 14 so composed and articulate proves, once again that Frank was doing something right.
-
Way WAY beyond his time. Genius, troublemaker, musical tyrant. Maybe one of the most accomplished musicians EVER. Thanks Frank. RIP
-
Moon at 14 is smarter and more articulate than most people three times her age.
-
The look on Frank`s face is one of pure purpose. Even relaxed , he looks so intense.
-
When Moon gets a laugh with a quirky joke, you can see the love in Frank’s eyes
-
Still missed by so many. The great Frank Zappa.
-
Frank Zappa was a genius. Gone way too soon. RIP
-
She's 14. Look how well-composed, well-spoken and highly-communicative she is.
-
Frank was a giant, a maverick genius, and a helluva guitar player. He also had a great speaking voice.

not sure anyone is interested in this but back in '72 when Frank was nursing his broken leg, he had some free time on his hands. It was at this point that my friend Ruben Guevara ( I hadn't met him yet) met Frank and they both decided to put a group together called Ruben and the Jets after Frank's 1968 album Cruisin with Ruben and the Jets. They held auditions and I was chosen as one of the members ( I sang, danced and played the hammond). We made 2 albums with the first one produced by Frank himself. I was amazed by his knowledge of music and his love of doo wop which is the first music I listened to back in the 50's. Unfortunately we only made 2 albums and Frank did not produced our 2nd album. Shortly after, we had internal problems within the group with half the group leaving. We tried to regroup but it didn't work out with our new members. Knowing and working with Frank for these 2 years was such an honor and opportunity. It s something I will cherish and never forget. I was so sad when I learned of his illness and death. There will never be another like him. BTW, my kids attended Moon Unit and Dweezil's birthday parties back in the 70's. After my musical career ended in '83 ( I attended USC for my masters degree), I worked in the San Fernando Valley for almost 20 years and I hated it at first but grew to accept the part of Los Angeles a population of over 1 million people with the worst traffic ever.

"It was a choice between that or Motorhead" Hilarious. RIP Lemmy.

You can tell Zappa respects letterman. I don’t think I’ve EVER heard him say “that’s a perfect format” about something someone pitched
-
We need more Frank Zappas in 2022.
-
This is funny. She has Frank's sense of humor.
-
I miss frank, I would love to hear what he would say about what’s going on now. A legend, never will there be another.
-
14? You can tell she's a Zappa! She talks like an Adult of 3 times her age. Well educated by FRANK! Wherever you are FRANK you and the UNIT did good!. Bless you FRANK ZAPPA!.
-
He was so cool and completely chilled ... my favorite musician of all time
-
At 14 I was a zombie compared to Moon as I road skateboards, surfed and hated talking to adults till I was maybe 45. Lucky child to have a father like Frank.
-
Frank Zappa...musical genius...100 years from now every orchestra will know his music.
-
Zappa has a sensitive heart. So does his daughter. He eminates a person who speaks truthfully.💐🌸🌺🍀 Rest In Peace...
