About this ebook
This new, completely revised and updated edition contains a wealth of new material, excerpts from the author's diaries and private letters home about life in Hollywood. In 1967, 21-year-old Pauline Butcher was working for a London secretarial agency when a call came through from a Mr Frank Zappa asking for a typist.The assignment would change her life forever. For three years, Pauline served as Zappa's PA, moving with him, his family and the Mothers of Invention, to a log cabin in Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills, where the 'straight' young English girl mixed with Oscar winners and rock royalty. Freak Out! is the captivating story of a naive young English girl thrust into the mad world of a musical legend as well as the most intimate portrait of Frank Zappa ever written.
About the author
Pauline Butcher wrote Freak Out! My Life with Frank Zappa after a producer at the BBC advised her to write something that no one else could write, and no one else could write about her experiences living and working with Frank Zappa in Hollywood in from 1968 -- 1971. It is the only book that describes Frank's home life, not shown in other books, from getting up to going to bed, composing at the piano, rehearsing with the Mothers of Invention, visiting rock stars, freaks, family squabbles, and more.
