      From: ronmoses@gmail.com              There has to be a lot more going on that any of us know. The fact that Ahmet       and Diva are in charge of the trust while Dweezil and Moon are cut out of that       indicates that this rift easily pre-dates Gail's death. Add in Dweezil's       comments that Gail        charged him "an exorbitant amount" to use the name Zappa Plays Zappa, his       legal actions against the Kickstarter project to preserve the vault and fund       Alex Winter's documentary... I would love to know what happened between       Dweezil and Gail to initiate        this rift, and what proceeded to happen between Dweezil and Ahmet to       perpetuate it. It's all very ugly.              It's also tempting to take sides; but since I know very little, and both sides       are engaged not only in activities that seem incredibly dickish, but in       activities that clearly promote Frank's legacy, it's probably best to just pop       some corn, pull up a        chair, and watch the sparks fly.              ron              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
