Since so many of you (about 20) asked for any information I got about this, I've decide to reply over the net. Here are two responses I got to the Big Question: ========================================================================== Frank Zappa has a song out called something like "Son of Mr. Green Jeans". He is not, of course, the son of the actor. Kenton Lee Bell Labs There is a book that just came out called "Rumors" --- this is in there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, Frank Zappa's father is Francis ... Zappa Sr. The rumor was started when Zappa cut a song entitled "Son of Mr. Green Genes", a play on words. It wasn't intended to be autobiographical. Jeff Bowles Lisle, IL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds like an amazing piece of nonsense to me. The photographs I have seen of Padrone Zappa resemble our dear old Mr Grean Jeans not in the slightest. Cheers, Oscar Nierstrasz ========================================================================== Well, there you have it... Imagine My Chagrin! Glad the truth did out. Thanks very much for all your responses... the net really is a wonderful tool (TOOL, I SAY, TOOL, NOT FOOL, BOY!).
