Hahaha 16:42 "Why are we talking about a mural on a building in New York?" *gets annoyed* "Excuse me!" ... Buchanans fake, awkward laugh (perfectly captured btw) - You had it right all along, Frank...
In ALL of Franks interviews he seems so ahead of him , he always contrasts so much with these ultra- conservative robot actormen and nvr uses phallicies and other political rhetoircal tactics
There's nothing to fear from images and words, when we educate ourselves to know why it is being shown and said. There is fear with misguidance or no guidance at all, but if we accept the words and forms of all things that this world has experienced for what they were and what impact they have, then we know about the world as a result. If we censor it, we censor the idea, the lesson, and we encourage suppression: And nothing calls for an outcry or retaliation like suppression.
@Disgustingandnasty The theory is correct, but the application here would gutted an entire 170 million dollars (Which who knows where that money would have wound up) just because of this single issue. I do agree that there are alot of things I wouldn't want to have automatically funded by own taxes, and I would share similar sympathies if I didn't know the repercussions of such a rash decision for defending the tax payer money. We all have funded far worse things than bad art.
@NewImperade Yes, but I will not settle for one form of incompetence over the other and neither should any population that has been and continues to be hoodwinked by officials they elect.
Americans have become so jaded to the corruption and ineptitude of their government that they will select the lesser of two evils, whether it be politician, or policy.
Maybe it's time to think outside the box, or tear it down?
@Disgustingandnasty I whole heartily agree with that feeling of "choosing a lesser evil" to disgust me. However, America is a place where I feel we do that better than many places else in the world, and I feel it an inevitability of having a "free" country where people can disagree and have different opinions and values - and no one can therefore be considered more right than another. We can't make decisions everyone will want or agree with, because there are either few or none.
@NewImperade If you look at our court system, it isn't about truth it's about the best compromise we can make based on evidence. Though, there is much thought to be had in the area of what is a "lesser" evil and what is not, because it's very easy to than choose an ideal over another and make that an objective force in a country. Now, to some that makes sense, depending on their situation, but it doesn't necessarily account for or create the best situation for everyone else.
@NewImperade America's court system is notorious for being the biggest mockery of justice in the western world. In fact, the reason health insurance and other policies are so expensive is precisely due to the inefficiency and ineptitude of the justice system. Frivolous cases, insipid laws; America is one of the few countries where lawyers abound due to the court being nothing more than an avenue for corruption.
@NewImperade Again, more lies. Given Americans GDP per capita, welfare and infant mortality rate, it is a terribly run country. It's not about morality, but allocations of resources that are being handled by people who are only optimizing their own utilities.
Elected officials are not doing their jobs. The past three wars have not been of benefit to anyone but the select few whose services were purchased to fight them.
These arguments about art and music have been going on for centuries. At the turn of the century in Paris on 29 May 1913 Igor Stravinsky wrote the Rite Of Spring. It was so obscene to reviewers that they have started a false lie in all music books for all music educated people I grew up thinking that it started a great riot do to its difference and dissonance I have later learned that there was no riot, no less than a fight outside of the music hall Its insane! Go Zappa! Im with you all the way!
Frank defends the artists position in an industrialized nation like he used to say about his fellow men in the society deviating from the norm to achieve progress, here he doesn't force his will to get additional funding by taxing a particular group, rather he talks about the unbalanced apportionment of the budget as most of the tax payers funds are used for purchasing military equipment rather than encouraging artists to create.
this is a current topic in that I would rather have a billion spent on how to teach someone how to rub off than to spend that same money on killing some person. Republicants love to kill
"Frank talks about the National Endowment for the Arts and defends its position on how it should be supported and how the tax payers money should be used to fund operas, orchestras, ballet, choral music etc."
Not quite accurate. Frank clarifies this @3:00. Catholics (Tax-payers) SHOULD NOT be forced...
@RustyIronloins Revenues generated by da govt by imposing taxes,duties,tariffs on individuals,firms r according2the tax codes of a particular nation&in legality a govt can't forcibly tk money from da taxpayer by any form of coercion,a law exists2govern dat. So after da revenue is generated,da people who are in charge of coming up with the budget,allocate da money4different department,projects.Here FZ is asking for a fair&balanced budget where tax payers money also goes2NEA underfunded prgmms.
@RustyIronloins "I'll give you a simple formula for straightening out the problems of the United States. First, you tax the churches. You take the tax off of capital gains and the tax off of savings. You decriminalize all drugs and tax them same way as you do alcohol. You decriminalize prostitution. You make gambling legal. That will put the budget back on the road to recovery, and you'll have plenty of tax revenue coming in for all of your social programs, and to run the army."- Frank Zappa
@RustyIronloins Frank tlkd abt da fact dat out of dat $170mill apportioned2wards NEA very little went2some forms of art. He defends da artists position & talks about encouragement of a few forms of art in da society & schools.NEA fund comes from the government via de tax revenues given by the citizens of the country, as an artist & as a tax payer Frank says that da funds towards NEA shouldn't b withdrawn.He even spoke abt this position in the Mark n Howard radio interview in89. So I disagree.
In 1989 WILLIAM DENNEMEYER moved to strike from record a study on violence in America because it contained the word 'homossexual'.
William Dennemeyer felt there should be no representations of homossexuality in the study, which means that William Dennemeyer condoned the murder and terrorizing of homossexual teenagers.
And he's still granted credibility after something like that?
My how shocking that the Morality mongers have not changed their tune more than 20 years later.

WOW!!, all these Crossfire videos with Frank suggests that there was actually a time when CNN was interesting.
Of course if CNN wanted to bring back Crossfire they'll have to bring Frank back from the dead, which is beyond even Ted Turners useless powers.
