Zappa

Why should I be smiling, says Zappa, sitting right here next to you?

Crossfire is an longtime infamous CNN program that I used to watch on hotelroom TVs 20 yrs ago, known for handling controversial subjects, animated by verbal fights and extreme positions. This one involves Frank Zappa expressing his opinion on music censorship for songs with 'offensive' lyrics or being promoted via 'too much explicit sex' video clips. The right, to Zappa's dismay, defends the position that Government should interfere and censor those works. As John C. Dvorak titles the clip in his blog: Frank Zappa on Crossfire Circa 1986 Defending the Use of “Words” to Three Dipshits. How right he is...

If you do not consider yourself an inspired neocon, watch the clip to the end; it's both amusing but also very sad... we don't seem to have learned anything in the last twenty years... on the contrary. Sad story! Long live Frank (RIP) an' God bless him!
