On a more serious note and speaking of book banning.....

One of Frank`s best Crossfire interviews,about censorship.
Very poignant considering the current debate.

Frank was a hero of mine.

A few months ago I spent some time going through some of his stuff...there is sooooooo much of it it's mind boggling. Lots of it was never mainstream and wow, I was just blown away by some of it.

He had these guys like Obama and McCain down pat:

You ain't even NUMBER TWO

Status: offline 		First time I heard Zappa was the live at FIllmore East album, I was just a kid and thought this guy is crazy! What lyrics! then
re-listened to the music not trying to laugh at the references to making love in the back of a Gremlin knowing nothing at the ripe old age of 11 but, this guy is hilarious and the music was like nothing I had ever heard. Then heard Bwana Dik and at 11 any dick joke is of course unbelievably funny... I finally really started to listening to the music realized I had been tricked....I think he used the lyrics to get a kid to listen to his music! It worked...Genius! Absolutely a Musical Genius!

I got suspended from school once, for playing one of his albums in shop class while working. (I was horrified at the time, but now, I kinda look at it as evidence I was just way ahead of the curve, musically, than most of the other kids who were playing disco crap at the time.)
