Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words is a compelling and passionate music documentary about the life of legendary genius Frank Zappa (1940-1993). The extraordinary black-and-white and color archival footage superbly assembled chronologically by director Thorsten Schütte includes the 1963 interview with popular talk show host Steve Allen, international media coverage of Zappa invitation to Prague and powerful onstage performances as bandleader of the Mothers of All Invention singing “Dinah-Moe Humm”, “G-Spot Tornado”, and “Bobby Brown”. Zappa, a prolific artist who composed over 300 songs says, “I do it for music, I do it for people who like music!”
