Current Events > Frank Zappa at PMRC Senate Hearing on Rock Lyrics

(+) Yeah! (+)

Forewarning it's 30 mins long. I'm sure some of you have seen this already. I started off thinking I'd skim through it and ended up hooked on listening to Zappa talk. 2020 through today needed Frank Zappa.

Thank you. It was after he finished reading his prepared speech and started having conversations is when I was hooked on hearing him talk. I wish it went on longer.

Speaking of things I didn't expect to watch all of, if you haven't seen Nardwuar's TED Talk you definitely should. I always knew him as just this kooky Canadian DJ but his seminar kept me interested the entire time:

Frank was awesome there and in other appearances like when he was on Crossfire and other talk shows.

Dee Snider also was great there at the PMRC hearing.

Just finished that one too. Dee Snider is typically the face of that hearing and after watching talk, he really hit a home run. Snider became the face because of his image and I respect that.

I'm watching John Denver now.
