"you need to get out more"
"I love it when you froth like that"
"kiss my ass" - "take your teeth out"
"millions of dollars"
"fascist theoracy"
"there is a tendency to hide sex in America"
"those are not magic words like abracadabra"
"register to vote and run for something"

This is mandatory viewing for the younggins. 1986. What a year

1. Yes, that IS a great debate!

I just watched it a few months ago for the first time.

Frank really showed him the truth.

on edit: stupidly called it an interview. Duh.

2. Only One Man Saw It Coming.

I saw this earlier this year on ifilms.com and was positviely bowled over when Zappa mentioned "theocratic fascism" 'way back in 1986.

3. No, quite a few saw it coming.

The moral majority was already out, Reagan's inability to separate God and America was rampant, etc.

But Zappa was pretty much the only entertainer/anthropologist who was vocal about the dangers and prophetic enough to try to warn the world.

8. Read Zappa's book The Real Frank Zappa

That book inspired me to become more politically involved.
