Another episode of Ahmets call in show rocktail where he speaks some clear words about the uneven heritage and the tensions with Dweezil (browse to 25.47). Since this once used to be a controversial discussed topic in the now dead forum this might qualify as Zappa news too: Ahmet Answers Hard-Hitting Questions ROCKTAILS with Ahmet Zappa
There is also another episode out there featuring Diva, but it was so boring that i didn't attend it very long - probably the really cool stuff came after i shut off. You'll find it by yourself.

Just as bad as the Jimi Hendrix family

I didn't listen to all of it, but Ahmet makes a very good point about having done a lot of work to hold the ZFT together.

I'm sure Ahmet did a lot of work but he had a great goods to sell, (Zappa music) and a large rapid fan base for Universal to sell it too. It just sad to see family issues aired out in the open like that. Charging Dweezil a buck to play Franks songs etc, he didn't say if the license was per song or the entire catalog- its just a power play by Ahmet and the Zappa plays Zappa thing is just petty, so Ahmet helped set it up- its along the line of Roger Waters getting all nancy after leaving PF over PF using the Pink Floyd name.........
We all understand that Ahmet is in charge now but he ain't doing the legacy much good.

Howdy all .
