An interesting discussion on Thing-Fish over at the forums.

While doing some research with regard to this Yahoo-article on G. Dubya’s use of religion to justify war, I came across Bob Marshall’s 1988 interview with FZ, which I had read a couple of years back. Rather than to continue my googling, I ended up reading the interview in its entirety. It is a wonderful exposé of Frank Zappa’s razor sharp intellect, packed with great quotes and insights. It just made me realize that, with all the shit going on, Music Is The Best.
(Interesting aside: the interview pages are hosted on the site of the Marshall McLuhan institute. McLuhan made a special appearance in Woody Allen’s Academy Awarded film Annie Hall (1977) where Allen, playing Alvy, silences a self-impressed McLuhan expert in a movie line by pulling McLuhan out of a poster to tell the man, “You know nothing of my work!” I love that movie!)

Here’s some war footage CNN is probably not going to show you. Contrary to what you may be thinking, it’s not about “collateral damage”, “democracy”, “embedded journalists” and “precision bombing”, it is about thoroughly fucking up people’s lives. But you know what? We Are Winning This War™!

Muchos kudos to Gilles, member of a french zappa-group the name of which I am circumlocuting at this time in order to get this text on the internet, for presenting the world with yet another Zappa bootleg download, absolutely free: Pigs ‘n Repugnant. Vintage MOI Zappa…

I wasn’t going to post about blogshares.com because it’s Just Another Popularity Contest™ as far as my Leftist Subversive Beliefs™ are concerned, but anyway here goes: apparently, KUR is worth a measly $ 11.82. Hostile take-over anyone?
