QUOTES OF THE DAY

“There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.”

Frank Zappa

“Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you’ve got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.”

Frank Zappa

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

Frank Zappa

You are seeing the exposed brick wall daily now. Frank worked for the EIC/MIC.

I am not so sure of that Bea, being a Frankophile I have tried to understand people’s reasoning when they say that, but haven’t seen any good proof apart from his father’s job.
I am sure that discrediting Zappa with linking him to the EIC/MIC does a lot more for the nefarious PTB than he ever did by making fun of hippies.
His disdain for the political class and brief run for the presidency was a harbinger of the current Trump bid. Unfortunately people only ever associated Frank with Titties and Beer, not humiliating Tipper Gore.
I consider his death suspicious considering his intelligence and ability to influence public opinion, just like John Lennon or Bob Marley (who died of toe cancer?)
Anyhow, if anybody has any good evidence supporting Bea’s claim, I want to read it. Otherwise, I will continue to cherish his admonitory advice regarding the government, school and general stupidity of the masses.

Zappa for President!
