Mr. President…

‘Even though I disagree strongly with many administration policies…’, well how else would you start a letter to any countries president, prime minister, or policy maker. The reason for this particular communication was the PMRC hearings on record censorship. Well this group of folks with an idea did have an some effect, and I would guess we’ve all seen the ‘parental advisory’ panel on record covers, but doesn’t it mostly just mean rap record ?

Dot Com

Doing a reverse IP lookup for zappa.com can be an interesting passtime. Here’s what I found:
Torchumuk.com, which leads to a page about ThingFish (and its StageCraft Entertainment edition),
Zappaforgovernor.com, not a website as of yet, but the domain name was purchased august 2003 by none other than Gail (what for??),
the Zappa Institute of Technology, also registered by Gail,
Theater Near You, which looks like an abandoned project listing FZ music performances across the globe,
– Montanasoon.com and Televizion.com which both have “Authentication Required!” restrictions.
Kinda makes you wonder doesn’t it?
