Good Night Boys and Girls		Gray, Michael. Unknown, England 1975 ISBN: Unknown Pages: Unknown Language: English Category: About
C O M M E N T S From: Pat Buzby <spb0377@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu>   I noted the reappearance of this book with amusement when I checked out the local bookstores while on xmas break. Gray's bio was published once around 1975 (which was the only time he interviewed FZ), then updated once in the mid-80's, and again recently to take advantage of a certain unfortunate incident that occured last December.   I found some of Gray's speculation on FZ's personal/family life guiltily enjoyable to read (though quite obviously b.s.), but otherwise I wouldn't recommend this book. It's less pretentious than Ben Watson's "Negative Dialectics," but also less illuminating, and contains almost as many factual errors. Hopefully one day someone who actually is well-informed about music will consider writing an FZ bio. (IMO, "Viva Zappa!" by Dominique Chevalier is about as close as anyone's gotten to writing a decent book about him.)
