Is he some kind of folk legend in Eastern Europe, or what? And if so, why, exactly?I have visited the memorial to Frank Zappa in Vilnius, Lithuania.

As to the appearance of his image on a door-knob, the point is that he had an image with the hair, beard and moustache he is identifiable in silhouette, which most people are not.
You must have an amazing collection of such items. Do you have a room dedicated to displaying them?I own a small piece of timber from Zappa's famous/infamous Laurel Canyon house.
I think he was very popular during the Iron Curtain years. Some of the countries in the Eastern block was very liberal with Western pop music.Is he some kind of folk legend in Eastern Europe, or what? And if so, why, exactly?
When I lived in Sweden I was surprised by the large proportion of serious music fans who were 'into' Zappa's work. They seemed to be concentrated in the Nordic region and central / eastern Europe (still part of the Soviet bloc at the time). It was never clear to me which aspect of Zappa made him so relatively popular there - the intricate experimental music, the comedy / satire, or Frank the uncompromising iconoclast.I think he was very popular during the Iron Curtain years.

You'll enjoy it, it's really good! Not so much about the music, or you don't hear much anyway, more about the man and his antics. Directed by Bill S. Preston Esq! Bruce Brickford was looking soooo old, though (RIP).Seeing this tomoz.
Dont forget his other kids, Diva and Ahmet, Moons kid has a weird name, Mathilda Plum Doucette, as does Ahmets daughter, Halo Violetta Zappa and Dweezils, Ceylon Indira Zappa, must run in the family.The main thing I know Moon Unit from is being the celebrity crush of Spud in the book Trainspotting. Can't recall if she is mentioned in the film. Oh, and I think she's the infamous "Valley Girl" too.
Not yet, most items I own are really just small pieces. I need a cabinet. That's a job for this year!You must have an amazing collection of such items. Do you have a room dedicated to displaying them?
Don't let it get you down too much, This is a film exposing Frank's day-to-day in 1971. I think it might help you and others who struggle to jive with his very alternative approach to living on earth and his artistic bent.I hate to say this
You might not know their titles. This one has title and a hell of a riff to go with, Let it play through. Quite an earworm.I can't think of one track that I remembered.
