6. This was a time before the Right Wing had their talking points

in order.

Yes, Mr. Zappa did say this country is moving to a "Fascist Theocracy". It is very difficult to prove a negative, Frank had presence and the mind to do this.

7. I just watched this twice

I'm not a huge fan of his music, but he was quite a character, and a genuine genius.

8. It's amazing how Benny Franklin's desire for astute maxims kept him from

mentioning the Hellfire Club, hehehehe...
