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
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
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!!
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
god i love this man so much
It takes a special man to make such unique music that is like nothing else and be planted firmly into the ground and sober as he was.
The world needs more Zappa...
ideal watermelon citizen
They'd ask him so many strange questions like the alien one lol
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
This man was an absolute genius. If only more people were awake like this...
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
💯
What an intelligent,intellectual,talented man we miss you Frank,R.I.P❤😢.
Frank said things that still ring true today. The music will inspire forever.
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 so miss him...
We all do!
I still listen to Frank almost every day. Amazing talent.
10:45 Frank's eyes were always wide open. He nailed it right there.
and now they are all liberal.
Come over the house and I'll show em to ya. What a brilliant answer
Zappa nails it at 6:20.
Bruh honestly the media was so much better than it is now
just boiled down version of then.
20 seconds in and Frank looks like one of those portraits brought to life by AI.
Amazing… to listen to such blatant truth ….
Miss Frank. Thanks.
You can see him battling illness in some clips. I miss my so-cal homie!
Вечная память Фрэнку!Я до сих пор слушаю твою музыку, мне 62 года. Санкт Петербург❤❤❤❤
Not only a genius in his music...
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
zappa is so cool
Lovely wise stuff from one of the most intelligent musicians ever, but volume needs to be "normalized" SO badly.. ;-)
Legend
You gotta get out more 😂😂
1:41 Never related harder to a single sentence
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?

absolute genius
"Our own ignorance is the thing that makes America great"...well there you have it
Frank was a brave and honest human being.
Americans still believe it makes a difference when voting for democrats or republicans 😂.
11:20 ... Oh Frank how the tides have turned.
I guess you don’t have anything better to do tonight HUH?
This man could have been a diplomat easily
1:58 Zappa: "I haven't heard any songs about incest"
also Zappa :"Motherly Love"', Brown Shoes Don't Make It"
Magdalena...
He indicated he never heard a song *advocating* incest.
Motherly love is about the Mothers of Invention fucking groupies. Take that off the list.
Why are we watching this? Nothing better to do ah?
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.
Dude get help for your TDS
Fox News managed to expand that right wing radio maneuver to a truly grand scale. "Nice trick," indeed
2:49
The candy coating has worn very thin.
❤
What's the song he composed about Michael Jackson?
"Why don't you like me" probably
Yes! From "Broadway The Hardway"
The song is called, "The Cracker Transformation of Indiana Gary".
Its funny how the political parties have reversed since then...
Turns out McCarthy was right though
Much as I love FZ,he was wrong about a few things, everything has flipped and inverted anyway
Never realized Frank was so malthusian, makes sense being so cynical. Used to agree with that point of view, feels so hollow now.
pwned @03:47
You oughta get out more.
Sorry to say I don’t think Frank was a big fan of the United States as an arbiter of right and wrong .
Ironic how he spoke about how people had become comfortable with lying, when he was constantly having affairs with other women.

Zappatist

he criticized the left and right. but opposed a lot of right wing politics due to censorship. he was heavy on the first ammendmant

And Gail was no more capable of loving her children than he was. I’m surprised any of them survived.
10:49 right wing was in charge of media up until what year? Obama era? It’s all left wing now
no it ain't. What Frank says is still true. Both parties are right wing
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.
Like to hear his thoughts on todays carnage
