In Richard Ochogrosso's Zappa authorized bio Frank tells him that he finds it difficult to sing and play because the guitar strap and weight of his SG presses down on his diaphram.

Hi Rugby
Iv'e read Poodle Play
Its mostly complete nonsense,Watson is obvoiusly delighted with the contents of his bookshelf & then attempts to drag Zappa past them to no great effect....
He also has no real idea about MUSIC only lyrics & concepts...
Hi all
I'm Steve from Swansea Wales UK
What is your conceptual continuity?
@rugby007 - I've not read the book myself but here are some links containing thoughts from some people that have read it.

The best FZ book is the real frank zappa book because he wrote that one.
Who has read The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play by Ben Watson? Any good? Entertaining? Enlightening? Enjoyable to read? Given my encouters with some of his other FZ writing, I'm inclined to stay away from it. Thoughts?
