So America is moving closer to Communism? Well, that's the only direction a nation can go when you move away from a Theocratic Tyranny, even if it is just a little bit in that direction. The Theocratic Reign of George Bush was even predicted by the prophet himself!

The only people that are upset about Obama's Craaaazy Socialist economics are the rich and powerful elite who will lose a bit of money so that those 'ungrateful peasants' will have slightly better lives.

Frank Zappa made an interesting point that I never really thought about.

The band Against Me! writes songs about their experiences with record labels on a pretty consistent basis. It's really interesting hearing it from their perspective, being one of the bigger bands out there today trying to survive in a 'Flavor of the Month' day and age without losing rights to their music or their souls. It's worth checking out the lyrics to 'Unprotected Sex with Multiple Partners' to get what I mean.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - it's good because it has Gotan Project in it.
The track is called Chunga's Revenge (it was originally written and performed by Frank Zappa in late 70s I think) and it's from the 2001 album "La Revancha del Tango". One of the best bands in the world, one of my Top5 albums of all time.

Wow, I havn't listen to Jeen Micheal Jarre since 1978-79 when a good friend in La Crescenta, named Chad, turned me on to both JMJ and Frank Zappa, thanks for posting this; a true classic, real spaced out music.

hey! lets have a music in history thread inspired by how terrible this was
ill start:
after museful consideration i have to say that i agree with homer simpsons assertion that rock attained perfection in 1974 and anything that i can think of is either 1)directly and obviously influenced by something from this era or 2) influenced by something influenced from this era
in 1974 you have: lou reed and the velvet underground, the ny dolls, the kinks, stevie wonder, jackson 5, the rolling stones, frank zappa, patti smith, aretha franklin, david bowie, eric clapton, rod stewart, led zepplin, johnny cash, paul simon, neil young, bob dylan, and the waning days of the beatles... sure really really good things came before, but 74 seems like the perfect blending point of old and new. where the forces that were powerhouses and founding fathers of rock n roll met and mingled with the new wave and poof...

your turn go!

Dupe:

Frank Zappa really said it best...

Whoever we are, where ever we're from
we should've noticed by now, our behavior is dumb
and if our chances expect to improve
its gonna take a lot more than trying to remove
the other race, or the other whatever
from the face of the planet altogether

...
And when his humble tv servant
With humble white hair
And humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls
Tells us our God says
It's okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it,
'cause if we don't do it,
We ain't goin' up to hebbin!
(depending on which book you're using at the
Time...can't use theirs... it don't work
...it's all lies...gotta use mine...)
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night...
Every day...
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following god's orders
Hey, let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
He made us all to be just like him,"
So...
If we're dumb...
Then God is dumb...
(an' maybe even a little ugly on the side)
