If Frank Zappa were alive today, he'd be Michael Moore on steroids
F-9/11? Zappa had Bush figured out before he ever held an elected office. Listen to his song "Oh No." It's the summation of Bush's entire career, delivered in one minute, forty-five seconds.

Damn, I miss Frank. He had as much anger, intelligence, humor and INFLUENCE as Michael Moore or Howard Stern...maybe more.

And while Michael Moore has a stylistic tendency to approach his targets with outrageous questions delivered in EXTREME polite tones..."yes sir, please, sir, could I please have a moment of your time, sir"...the "velvet glove" to cover the imminent "iron fist"...Zappa would have simply and unapologetically gone straight for the Bush-Cheney jugular.

We have Springsteen and all of the other musicians / celebrities who are devoting their time and talents to this effort. They're worthy of applause and our own reciprocal efforts to unseat the Idiot Bastard Son. I wish Frank could have been one of them, but he's there in spirit.

That line has been my sig since I have been on DU. It's nice to know somebody else remembers FZ.

Concentration moon
Over the camp in the valley
Concentration moon
Wish I was back in the alley
With all of my friends,
Still running free:
Hair growing out
Every hole in me
American way
Threatened by us
Drag a few creeps
Away in a bus
American way
Prisoner: lock
Smash every creep
In the face with a rock

Excerpted from "Concentration Moon" from the album "We're Only In It For The Money"
