Written by his former PA Pauline Butcher, Freak Out! is the most revealing and intimate portrait of Frank Zappa ever published, vividly evoking the late sixties zeitgeist and offering a unique insight into the life and work of a rock'n'roll legend.
London-born Pauline Butcher worked in Los Angeles as Frank Zappa's PA from 1967-1971. During this time, she ran the fan club of the Mothers of Invention, and managed the all-girl rock act the GTOs. After returning to England in the early 1970s, she studied at Cambridge University, and went on to teach A-level psychology.
