Many thanks to author @jamescampion.bsky.social
for including "Frank Zappa's America" on his holiday guide! Very grateful to him for his review of my book that captures the essence of Zappa's political messaging within his music, and why it is so relevant today.

Loved your book and congrats! I had two music books published this year which was tough and I’m very grateful for it, but it was especially difficult to have one of them published because the subject was so political and I was dismantling six decades of music journalism bias with it.

No such thing as an amateur Dylan fan in my book! Got my ticket there too, and am happy the Metra will make it convenient!

Gorgeously illustrated, this book uses visual storytelling techniques that highlight what made this legendary musician & political activist larger than life, detached from the limitations of more traditional biographies by blending real stories with myths that have since shaped how we see Fela.

Memorial tribute to American composer Frank Zappa
Several copies of the book “Frank Zappa’s America” by Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa passed away 32 years ago today, & whether the culture realizes it, his music resonates even now. He certainly had an impact on me, & so I did my best to capture why Frank’s voice still matters with my book that is the first to explore the legacy of his political messaging. RIP Maestro.

“Frank Zappa’s America” book by Bradley Morgan
“U2: Until the End of the World” book by Bradley Morgan
I didn’t write any articles this year, but I publish two books I’m proud of for different reasons. The Zappa one analyzes America’s accelerating white nationalism in 2025 & is so incredibly timely despite him being gone for three decades, and the U2 one was me rediscovering joy after writing that.

We discuss New Zealand’s socioeconomic changes throughout the 1980-90s and how that provided the inspiration for Luke Rowell (Eyeliner) to great a stylized form of music that reenvisioned the sonic landscapes of luxury commercials and travel advertisements from the era. A great genre overview.
