More Zappa
Jeff's earlier post of Zappa on Crossfire inspired me to dig further into the Frank Zappa world of anti-censorship. With tongue firmly in cheek, Frank Zappa's "warning label" on Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention album:
"This album contains material that a truly free society would neither fear nor suppress. We guarantee that you will not go to hell from listening to the aforementioned material. This guarantee is as real as the threats from the video fundamentalists who use attacks on rock music in their attempt to turn America into a nation of check-mailing nincompoops in the name of Jesus Christ. If there is a hell, its fires wait for them, not us."
Read more here.
Buy the album on Amazon.

I think that Zappa's coolest song was actually his daughter's song "Valley Girl". As usual, Youtube delivers.
