Who knew that the hippy Frank Zappa was an awesome freaking capitalist!
I saw Zappa play in Detroit in the early ‘80s. He was brilliant.
During the show, some clown threw a whisky bottle up on he stage. It shattered and made a big commotion and a mess. Faced the audience, put down his guitar (it was a solo show) and said “who did that?” The house lights came up, everyone around the guy pointed to him, and he was summarily escorted from the theatre.
The lights went down. Zappa sat down and continued to play. He deserved, and demanded, respect.
I only wish more people knew... There are many interviews with Frank regarding the Nanny State. Check out his testimony on capitol hill. Look how far we've come from Tipper Gore wanting control over what music your kids can listen to... today, everyone gets felt up at the airport, the number of bullets a magazine can have is restricted, you will be jailed for not having healthcare insurance... dare I go on? If only Frank were around today... He'd, no doubt, be a panelist on Fox News... I can picture Frank, Ted Nugent, and Kinky Friedman all being on a guest panel to discuss the debt ceiling.
