Urban Gwerder was an early observer of Zappa's activities in Europe. In the book are several pictures and texts linking Gwerder to Zappa. There is an accompanying CD "Berglers Balz" with an unreleased-by-Zappa track called "Eternal Motherly Goodbye Collage" where Zappa speaks to Ruth Underwood, followed by a medley of a live performance "Cozmic Debris", "Tush Tush Tush/Room Service" of the '74 band. At the end of the song Zappa mentions his name: "... on behalf of Urban Gwerder ..."

Promotext of the publishers:
"Der echte Geist der 60er-Jahre weht durch dieses grosse Blätterbuch. Urban Gwerder, Poet, Gestalter, Animator, Ideenbündel, Outlaw, Netzwerker, hat ein spannendes, schönes und mutmachendes Buch gemacht aus seinem gesammelten Schaffen von 1959–98, eingepackt in die Story eines konsequenten Lebens, eine Kulturgeschichte der Gegenkultur aus erster Hand."
