The idiot bastard son
(THE FATHER'S A NAZI
IN CONGRESS TODAY
THE MOTHER'S A HOOKER
SOMEWHERE IN L.A.)

The idiot bastard son

(ABANDONED TO PERISH
IN BACK OF A CAR
KENNY WILL STASH HIM AWAY
IN A JAR)
THE IDIOT BOY!

(all the time he
would spend at the church he'd attend...
warming his pew)

Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
THE CHILD WILL THRIVE & GROW
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know
What this is about

(YOU THINK YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING... maybe so)
The song we sing, DO YOU KNOW?
We're listening...
THE IDIOT BOY! (all the time he
would spend all the colors he'd blend...
where are they now?)

Written in the late 1960's!!! ZAPPA IS MY HERO!!!

1. While Kenny and his buddies had a game out in the back...

Let's make the water turn black....

[Birthmark]

2. Okay.

But I think you should know...Zappa sucked rocks, and not your wholesome rocks like feldspar. I mean the hard stuff, granite and the like.

[Rick Myers]

3. Huh?

[Birthmark]

4. Not a Zappa fan.

The bit about rocks was just to make it easier to deal with. :)

5. We're Only In It for the Money = One of the best of all time.

This album also foresaw the Kent State shootings three years before they happened. It's more or less a total satire of middle America, hippie culture and California under Governor (later Saint) Ronnie Reagan. The number of albums this influenced . . . too many.

6. You want prophetic? Try this 1977 quote of his:

"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 a brick wall at the back of the theater."

I met Zappa back in the '80s and am a big fan of his. Did you know his music helped to inspire the Velvet Revolution in what used to be Czechoslovakia?

7. Zappa was a genius

He is missed during these trying times.

8. Zappa

If Zappa was alive today his musings would bring this President to Impeachment.

Vaclev Havel wanted to appoint Zappa as a Czech trade minister. James Baker nixed the deal.

Zappa's been my hero for 34 years.

Chrome Plated Megaphone of Destiny on WOIIFTM is about internment camps for non-republicans.

That is probably happening in the USA as we speak.
