Zappa for President


A visionary, musical virtuoso, Presidential candidate and First Amendment advocate, Frank Zappa was a true pioneer who was uncompromising and ahead of his time. (Check out his critically acclaimed double album, Joe’s Garage). Do you recall when Prince’s Darling Nikki caused such a stir for its sexually explicit content? Well, Mr. Zappa fought an admiral battle to keep the government from censoring musical content. Check out this great clip of Mr. Zappa on CNN Hardball from 1986. One word to describe Zappa: badass. Enjoy.

Thanks for the Zappa flashback. It has been along time since we heard from the "Central Scrutinizer".
