{"product_id":"no-commercial-potential-the-saga-of-frank-zappa-9780306807107","title":"No Commercial Potential: The Saga of Frank Zappa","description":"For nearly thirty years Frank Zappa (1940-1993) pursued an idiosyncratic but influential course in music--rock, jazz, and classical composer (releasing over fifty albums); founder of the Mothers of Invention; guitarist, conductor, and producer; as well as social satirist, sonic scientist, First Amendment champion, and all-around iconoclast. This updated edition of David Walley's cutting-edge classic includes a new foreword, a substantial chapter carrying the Zappa saga through his death from cancer, an afterword, bibliography, discography, videography, and guide to Zappa on the Internet.
