its just so amazing how wrong they were about the content of his music especially in regards to suicide. he did the opposite of glorifying suicide he made you feel stupid for wanting to do it
yeah media tried to make some free thinker sound like he has lost his mind but intelligent people will get his point of view. I mean he makes them look like complete idiots instead
Such a shame he passed in 1993,still saddens me today,he was a true visionary, way ahead of his time,I first listened to his music when I was 11,im now 53 and love him even more,poop to all the other poseurs in the rock bizniz, frank was one of the real guys!!
I wish Frank would have lived longer. Or suffered less, anyway. But I would like to hear his wisdom regarding our Political Plight today!! I'm sure he'd have some choice werds for a certain Felonious Traitor & Billionaire!! And Biden, too.
The continuing truth in Zappa's observations always triggers defensive outbursts and parroted taking points from right-wingers with zero sense of comprehension or irony, as expected.
And yet some right wingers have tried to claim him for their own in recent years. Anyone familiar with his work or thinking knows this isn't true. Now, with Moon's book, she has confirmed it. She mentions how Frank and Gail were almost violently opposed to anyone in the family voting Republican.
At the time, I have to be honest, Zappa seemed overreationary and paranoid. But now in retrospect you can clearly see all he was worried and warning us about is happening and it all started in the '70's and '80's. By the late '80's Zappa had clearly had enough. I wish more of us had taken him seriously and worked harder to change and correct the crooked path US politics has taken over the last 50 years.
A one-man show by Frank would have been electrifying. Just FZ speaking his mind on stage, shown on TV. Fuck me, man, can you imagine what Frank would have made of this century so far? Having said, to paraphrase Hunter Thompson, it hasn't yet gotten weird enough for me...
I always wondered if he was really that political or if he thought that's what sells? One minute he sounds like a libertarian and the next he is talking about nationalism outside of the US, weird.
@@fshhhYet it was Tipper Gore and her liberal friends that lead the way with the PMRC. He tagged Christians as the ones trying to censor everything because he hated Christianity.
He speaks as if there is an absolute morality. He is right, while rejecting it. He declares sin (violation of the perfect law) while promoting it. He thinks he is god. Too bad for him.
Ironic how he spoke about how people had become comfortable with lying, when he was constantly having affairs with other women. I suppose I have to consider that he didn't lie about it, he was open about it. I love Zappa, I have forty plus of his CDs, and a huge amount of vinyl, but I recognize he was a very flawed person. I understand his cynicism, but his view was very one sided.
He is never “funny”. He is sarcastic, he hates people, he thinks and perhaps he was of superior intelligence to most people. I feel sorry for his children. I don’t think he was capable of love. He did make some incredibly amazing music
Why? He was wrong about so much. Listen to his nonsense around 12:00 about the media. He was too dumb to know the CIA has been controlling the media for decades while blaming so called right wingers.
It wouldn't help. He was saying it all back then and America still ended up voting for Trump. Trump will be President again and the USA will cease to be a functioning democracy. Probably best that FZ didn't witness that.
