    Frank Zappa thoughts

    In a 1991 interview,
    Zappa reported that he was a registered Democrat but added "that might not last long—I'm going to shred that".

    Describing his political views, Zappa categorized himself as a "practical conservative"


    He favored limited government and low taxes; he also stated that he approved of national defense, social security, and other federal programs, but only if recipients of such programs are willing and able to pay for them.


    He favored capitalism, entrepreneurship, and independent business, stating that musicians could make more from owning their own businesses than from collecting royalties.



    He opposed communism, stating, "A system that doesn't allow ownership ... has—to put it mildly—a fatal design flaw."








    This segment features Frank dissecting democracy. He reveals that 1 man 1 vote can be manipulated by the control of information that each voter receives. The information is controlled by the education system and the media. The media is controlled by corporations. Frank shows prescience in describing what was the Obama campaign's masterful manipulation of the media

    During the 1980s, Frank Zappa was the leading spokesman for the first amendment during a time the religious right was focusing on censoring the "devil music" known as rock and roll.

    I have to bet that his stated loyalty is more an attempt not to be canceled.

    The same with Alice Cooper. Never even had a drink.
