-Fischer had a number of friends who would let him stay with them but his aggressive behaviour and tendency to throw things in frustration often meant that the visits were short. It was after one such throwing incident, narrowly missing one of Zappa's children, that Zappa refused to have anything more to do with him.  In February 2008 'Fischer released [http://payplay.fm/wildmanfischer Lost and Found Pep] (Lumania Records) which included the song "I'm Sorry, Frank Zappa" in which he apologised for upsetting Zappa and their falling out.
