The book includes a couple of interviews with Frank Zappa plus over 20 references to FZ and The Mothers Of Invention throughout the book.

from the publisher's website:
How did David Bowie's special jacket, which he wore during his performance in Amsterdam in 1974, come into the possession of Elly de Waard?

Elly de Waard worked for twenty years as a pop journalist for Vrij Nederland and de Volkskrant. Without hesitation and restraint, she interviewed an inexhaustible number of international pop musicians, including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Roxy Music, Frank Zappa and The Velvet Underground.
"Het Jasje Van David Bowie" gives a broad overview of what pop music had to offer in the seventies and eighties and how these musicians developed into the superstars we know them today. All their concerts, new albums and their ideas about music and politics are reviewed, everything around it, such as Woodstock, groupies, films, rock operas and therefore also the story about David Bowie's jacket.
