Frank Zappa was an American multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, and bandleader. His work is characterized by nonconformity, free-form, improvisation, sound experiments, and satire of American culture. Zappa’s body of work spans over thirty years consists of rock, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestral, and musique concrete works. His band the Mothers of Invention (featured on the shirt) and as a solo artist created over 60 albums. His honors include his 1995 induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 1997 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. 

Zappa’s career was marred by tragedy. In 1971, Zappa suffered his first of two serious setbacks. While performing at Casino de Montreux in Switzerland, a flare set off by an audience member started a fire burning down the casino. This event was immortalized in Deep Purple’s song “Smoke on the Water.” A week later the band played at the Rainbow Theater in London when, during the encore, he was pushed off the stage by a boyfriend who was jealous of his girlfriend’s infatuation with Zappa. He suffered serious fractures, head trauma, injuries to his back, leg, and neck, as well as a crushed larynx, which ultimately caused his voice to drop a third after healing. Despite this, and despite any critics of his work, Zappa continued to create music into the 1990s before his death.
