They’re only in it for the money.

Sounds like the kids who didn’t inherit a share of Frank’s talent are quite jealous of those who did.

That family is like a cereal factory in Battle Creek- a whole lotta flakes.

I say scrap the lawsuit and let Moon Unit adjudicate this matter.

Growing up with the name Dweezil should entitle him to just about anything he wants.

Wow, Ahmet was in the ZPZ band during rehearsals/ training (Dweezil spent 2 years getting himself and the players ready) then he left very early in the first tour owing to personal life chaos. Sad to see he’s gone dick move. Gail was always pretty severe about the name and the music, but she did understand that to make money on it you have to keep it out there. Surprised Dweezil isn’t one of the trust managers, I can see keeping Moon out her relationship with her father was a bit troubled. Hate to see them going down the Hendrix path, that messed up his musical legacy for decades.

A lose, lose, lose situation. Fight it, and the trust will simply blow cash paying lawyers for a losing case.

Don't blow the cash, live under the thumb of others.

Just have to say ‘sue me’ and give half the trust to lawyers and hope you can get a judge to assign most of the fees to the jerk’s share of the estate.

I heard that Dweezil wasn't his given name. When he discovered that it wasn't his real name, he went to court to have his name officially changed to Dweezil.
