Netflix knows I like a music documentary. This one was suggested recently and I watched it this week. I do like Frank Zappa's music, but there is plenty I do not know about him. From this film I learned

I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember, and sometimes it's easy to skip over things, and forget what you've got. I'm going to start listening to things in alphabetical order, it give
