Man, I really, really hate to read this. The family is feuding over Frank's legacy.

hopefully it will all smooth out over time.

Just another dysfunctional family doing what dysfunctional families do - be human.

We expect more from them because they are well known (and we respect FZ), but
holding anyone to a higher standard for that reason is is just a means to bolster our ego.

It may be that Gail Zappa felt that Dweezil and Moon were older and had more of a chance to become celebrities and financially benefit from their relationship with their father. Though really, all four are celebrities now. Heck, even I have seen all four on TV, and I pay very little attention to that stuff.

But treating children unequally in the estate plan is usually not the best way to deal with that.

Zappa loved litigation.

Look how he treated the real MOTHER OF INVENTION band members.

This is not surprising at all. Must be in the genes.

How did he treat them? I don't keep up with celebrity anything and haven't since I was a teenager. Even then I didn't care much about that.
