And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
An intelligent young man. His wicked sense of humor is needed in America today. I'd love to hear Frank's opinion on the current trends like "I 'm a woman even though I have a tallywhacker, and I'm a boy even though I have a hoo-ha! (Witness "Bobby Brown"). He was a different cat, but did not have room for lies and bullshit.
Here's some great Zappa quotes: ”The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
“There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.”
“Their stupidity does not amaze me, it’s when they’re smart that amazes me. It’s baffling whenever you find someone who’s smart - incredible. Soon you’ll have zoos for such things.”
"People will agree with you if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds."
He may have had some insider insight. Zappa had some serious MIC connections. He was the king of the Laurel Canyon alumni. He was a fan and promoter of Charles Manson
Shitty resolution, but here's the Man demonstrating some innovative musical licks on the Steve Allen Show, about 5 years after your photo. Like many others whose like we will never again see in our lifetimes. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Zappa+playing+the+bicycle&view=detail&mid=243426D1B3A3843EEB79243426D1B3A3843EEB79&FORM=VIRE
" , it appears as though Frank Zappa also displayed some of the same less-than-admirable qualities shared by Manson and Paulekas. As DesBarres observed, “Vito was just like Frank, he never got high either. They were both ringmasters who always wanted to be in control.” And as Barry Miles noted in his Zappa biography, Frank’s daughter Moon “recalls men with straggling beards, body odour and bad posture who crouched naked near her playthings …” Also, the “Zappa children watched porn with their parents and were encouraged in their own sexuality as soon as they reached puberty. When they became teenagers, Gail insisted they shower with their overnight guests in order to conserve water.” Because, you know, apparently the Zappas were having a hard time paying their water bill.

The actual title to Dave McGowan's book is "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream." It is more than weird... a vast amount of rock gods who entertained us starting in the 60's had family ties to our spooky government & military agencies.
