Frank Zappa (Terrorist)

Zappa or Guy Fawkes?

  The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion is too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the table and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.

Frank Zappa

 RIP Frank.

terror, terror, everywhere!

Dial the wayback machine to Circa 1986. The Reagan Era. T'was Morning in America. The kerfuffle of the day was was song lyrics. Government intervention was needed to protect America. A clip from that era, Crossfire show. The whole show is there, and it's full of fireworks. Mr Zappa predicts Americas descent to a fascist theocracy at about the 10 minute mark. Enjoy.

I think we're closer to a fascist corporatocracy or mebbe a fascist oligarchy. But let's not quibble over semantics, eh?

Wonder what Pete Seeger plays

Just remember that a guitar is only an inanimate object. No guitar has ever incited a Wobblie to riot on its own. The finger strumming the guitar determines how its used.

Mystery Solved!

The Gibson raid still on my mind this am.
Either my wookie suit is on too tight, or the dots are all connecting, or something.

Woodie Guthrie's guitar sported a militant sticker...

Guitar manufacturer Gibson has replicated Guthrie's 1945 Southern Jumbo.

 Look at the pic above! Are you kidding me? This land is your land!? What are you? Commies??!

Obviously our government can not risk fascist killing machines just laying around.
