They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

I'm on a big Zappa kick lately, and I was watching a video of the time when Frank was on Crossfire back in '86 regarding music censorship. Here are two choice bits.

Zappa: "We have a document--the letter of the law. Let's use the letter of the law and interpret it based on the twentieth century."

John Lofton (censorship advocate for The Washington Times): "You have repeatedly--in opposing even RATINGS for rock music--you have repeatedly cited the Constitution and the First Amendment. Do you think the Founding Fathers really gave us the First Amendment to defend songs that glorify Satanism and incest and suicide? Do you really believe that?"

Zappa: "Absolutely."

Lofton: "You really believe that?"

Zappa: "Yeah, I really believe it."

Lofton: "Then you're an idiot, then. You're an idiot."

Zappa: "Yeah? Well, I tell you what: KISS MY ASS."

------
Zappa gets prophetic:

Lofton: "I consider this national defense, pal. Families are UNDER ATTACK by people like you with these lyrics."

Zappa: "Can I make a statement about national defense? The biggest threat to America today is not communism. It's moving America toward a fascist theocracy. And everything that's happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe."

Robert Novak: "Ohhhh, Mister Zappa!"

Zappa (mocking): "Yes. MISTER Zappa."

Novak: "Do you really think that?"

Zappa: "Yes. I really think that."
----

You can watch it here.

Aaah... Zappa did have style... God bless his soul.

yeppy!

yeah but the point is you cant if you wanna do it fast and good then itll cost you money if you wanna do it cheap and fast the product wont be good etc etc.

It all works out if you think about sex.

Rings and jewels are not gifts but apologies for gifts. The only true gift is a portion of yourself.

Emerson

Sometimes I like jewels, is that wrong.

You call that a kinfe? This is a knife! - tea barking, walking threw essex one dark night.

Yeah, busy with school and personal life stuff. I get to stop in every now and then, though. Thanks for keeping tabs on me.

NO! That's not wrong at all!
And while jewels may not be a part of the self, they can make for a non-intrusive reminder of the 'self' who gave them. Is my totally objective opinion.
