Since when are children responsible for the actions of their ancestors? He rebelled against his family which is about as much as anyone can do.

“rigidly authoritarian control-freak and a supporter of U.S. military actions in Southeast Asia”

Authoritarian in the studio, but then again the guy new what he wanted. You could say he was conservative in taste, perhaps. Outside of the studio he was hardly authoritarian, he was a Hare Krishna.

I would appreciate a link to the claim he supported military action anywhere given his statements elsewhere regarding the ineptitude and futility of military action in countless interviews and lyrical material. He was the first to receive censorship under the PMRC for the material he put into the public domain on the subject and also of government use of American technology in Africa – using vaccinations to spread aids, and that was in the late seventies and early eighties.

“His son, meanwhile, prepped himself to become an icon of the peace & love crowd. Again, nothing unusual about that, I suppose.”

He hated the peace and love crowd accusing them of acting like sheep. 90 % of his back catalog is satire aimed right between the eyes of the peace and love crowd/yuppies/hippies which eventually transformed into the modern day bank executive.

His music is not to everyones taste – thats for sure – but anyone who lumps Zappa in with the hippie movement has not done enough research.

Talking straight !

A peek into the quasi-military, banker’s control room:

Given that Zappa was, by numerous accounts, a rigidly authoritarian control-freak and a supporter of U.S. military actions in Southeast Asia, it is perhaps not surprising that he would not feel a kinship with the youth movement that he helped nurture. And it is probably safe to say that Frank’s dad also had little regard for the youth culture of the 1960s, given that Francis Zappa was, in case you were wondering, a chemical warfare specialist assigned to – where else? – the Edgewood Arsenal. Edgewood is, of course, the longtime home of America’s chemical warfare program, as well as a facility frequently cited as being deeply enmeshed in MK-ULTRA operations. Curiously enough, Frank Zappa literally grew up at the Edgewood Arsenal, having lived the first seven years of his life in military housing on the grounds of the facility. The family later moved to Lancaster, California, near Edwards Air Force Base, where Francis Zappa continued to busy himself with doing classified work for the military/intelligence complex. His son, meanwhile, prepped himself to become an icon of the peace & love crowd. Again, nothing unusual about that, I suppose.

Who are these people and what are they up to?

Doesn’t look good.

In some small American towns you see this “market peonage” in the housing.

Landlords know very well how much the town’s wage slaves are making e.g. $8 an hour with maybe 24 hours per week if they’re lucky. So the landlords conspire to raise rents to just what the wage slaves can pay after housing and food. Since the US wage slaves have no health insurance, if they get sick they are truly screwed.

Nothing new under the sun…
