Frank Zappa on Crossfire - Part 1

[svdvr]

"You once wrote a song called We're All In It For The Money." "Its not a song its a name of an album. You outta get out more." xD

[YoshimizRobots]

Words, Words, WORDS you idiots

[L0rdR4hl]

Holy shit, this aired on my birthday!

[Bawbster1]

Video at the start is "The Chauffeur" by Duran Duran. The song has no dirty lyrics, and the video is not violent, it shows some breasts - wooooooo - how evil.

[SASRISGAY]

I wonder if that bloated guy puts a white hood over his head in his spare time? Not only that, he's obsessed with incest for some reason.

[rightsideofhistory]

Frank at 3:15 - A conservative. A real conservative. Screw religion, babies, censorship, hetero-only, white-only, english-only, clean & neat virtues of bullshit. He was also pro environment, would not have been a global warming "hoax" pusher today, nor a birther, nor a big oil or corporate fascist. He was FREEDOM. A libertarian. What has conservatism become today? Palin, Bachman, bibles and babies...uptight and unsexual...basically today's conservative is the dude sitting next to Frank!

[Chef033]

I started kidnapping and eating people after watching Silence of the Lambs. I'm the nonexistent impressionable retard that censorship advocates are trying to protect.

[thezoombini]

One of the greatest recorded moments in the life of a man of many recorded moments.

[Jabberforce]

i love it when you froth like that

yeeeesssssssss

[bluehaxor88]

I like how that... pudgy guy... keeps firing off questions, when Zappa is trying to answer them. Actually, no, I don't like that. I hate everything about that, and I hate anyone that does that. If you do that, stop.

That is why we can't have nice things....

[ReeferRevolution]

Hey can someone give me the definition of the word floff or whatever it is zappa says when he says "I love it when you floff me i thought he was the one gona be doing the floffing".

[jsmall10671]

@ReeferRevolution froth as in to froth at the mouth

[anastyschoolboy]

@ReeferRevolution "Froth" I think. 

[zachrfields]

Get em Zappa

[honuman39]

F'ing Robert "I outed a CIA operative publicly" Novak. What a douche. 

[WillisProvidence]

what are people posting? baden and novak are fine in this... it's lofton who is such an asshole, and it makes me really angry that in retrospect he actually thought he won this... he represents everything i hate about america, and zappa--everything i love about it

[WillisProvidence]

@WillisProvidence *braden... and again, fuck john lofton!

[Reasonable99pct]

cnn is rubish

[TumbrelJockey]

Frank would've made a fine attorney.He had a very clear head .ability to approach a subject or problem from many sides-taking in the widest "peripheral" field of view & He had little difficulty ambushing those attempting an ambush.Don't know if he was up to- or even into "leaping tall buildings in a single bound..but he could've made a fine Superman as well.HSLONTF(HeSaid.....)

[musicforchewfaygs]

whats this fucking incest record he keeps talking about?

i can't think of a single popular at that time or now that promotes incest.

[LampwicksCigar]

@musicforchewfaygs "Sister" by Prince, from the "Dirty Mind" album.

[mryellow123]

@musicforchewfaygs Little Nicky - Prince..... Complete load-of-shit.....

[AndreasLuna]

Millions of dollars Mr. Loftson

[Valelacerte]

05:20 Zappa thinks "You stupid, bigoted, fascist wanker; I don't know whether to speak, puke, or punch your cunt face in!"

[knah5]

we're talking about wOOOrds

[CtrlRm]

6:20-6:30 ROFL

[HelloMarco]

Lofton is such a weasel.

[m3garh0d]

"It's not a song it's the name of an album you need to get out more" Frank Zappa hit the nail on the head that the government and the PMRC knew nothing about the musical artists and the ideas of expression that exist in the music industry past and present

[hed2myshoos13]

hahahaha the smile that frank gave at 7:20 while those stupid fucking pricks were arguing was awesome

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@hed2myshoos13 and i love the part at 2:00 where he keeps turning his head left and right even after the guy on the right stopped.....he does a very good job at covertly expressing his opinion about how they are debating....most people, even leaders can't debate because it's ALWAYS about their voice!

[1974farmermama]

@hed2myshoos13

oh my god, it is

[Floorsnarl]

Life is hell....then you die. What's worse than that? Censorship is for people who want to live in a deluded, comfy, cozy, isolated, fabricated and Utopian existence. Do those adjectives bear any resemblance with reality besides fabricated?

[headyp]

Anybody have this video without the audio dropouts?

[crodolpho]

I love the middle guy's wig.

[spotlitekid1]

Hilarious. Surreal. That guy really gets excited saying the word incest

[otaku1524]

I missed seeing this because i was deployed overseas at the time. But I heard about it later on after I returned. FZ in rare form, fighting with those Establishment shills.

Words, in the end, are only words. not worth the hot air it takes to create them. WE miss you Frank. One of the very FEW people that told us what we NEED to hear.

[JonMGilbertson]

I remember seeing this as a teenager and laughing and laughing and then laughing some more at the coolness with which Zappa deflected Novak and Lofton. Ah, memories...

[Watchsomedirt]

These censorship beeps are just hilarious. What about other offensive words for a healthy Christian society like, jew, muslim, atheist, free will, freedom of religion.

[sonisisuper]

Wow, this John Lofton guy makes Bob Novak look sensible. An impressive feat.

[earvesicle]

Words damnit words!!

[earvesicle]

Someone to claim us, someone to follow

Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo

Someone to rule, someone like you

We want you Big Brother

[jrtriplebanger12]

frank zappa sucks balls

[mikedaugherty]

Are you 10 years old ? Or just a moron ?

[al8as]

RIP

[jekk23]

bunch of vile, stupid, fools. God help us. Anyone help us! We need it.

Miss you Mr. Zappa

[MeHimself]

What a bunch of straight up TOOLS. Zappa is absolutely right, there is just no arguing over it. Some words convey extremes better and more effectively than others, in a very broad sense, and they are more forceful and expressive than others and people just get a little bit uncomfortable with it and turn to their mommy and daddy, also known as the federal government, for help. This world is a circus.

[PhantomBPR]

Damn old fucks, they won't let him talk.

[3eye]

Can't someone up this Crossfire in a decent version that doesn't pop and click?!

[metalone55]

thats what I'm saying!!!!

[thenerdistheword]

Seriously, it's unlistenable.

[neothomist1275]

When you see the dialectic being played, you should assume that ruling power desires the worst of both sides:

In 1986 there were dozens of major media companies...now there are four companies who control 95% of what the public sees and hears which is largely trivia and trash to keep them stupid and base and easily controlled.

[nemofebes]

Thank President Clinton's Telecommunications Act of 96 for that.

[paulodidrummio]

I never leave comments, but I have so much respect for Frank Zappa. He is the only one that comes across as someone with his own opinion and not like some old dinosaur. The world definately lost a genius and a genuine free mind the day he died.

[Firefret30003]

Those guys really do need to get out more.

R.I.P Zappa Man, you started up a trend no-one has found yet!

[fusionguitar]

could lofton be any more of a nut??

[Firefret30003]

I heard once that Lofton use to drink paint as a beverage and rape hedgehogs on a daily basis in Feb 1989

[fortydayweekend]

"I love it when you froth like that" ... classic!

[AKALucifer]

"Millions of dollars Mr Lofton."

[fadethetrade]

Was frank a true secular progressive?

[AKALucifer]

I was just luling as the fact he didn't say "The title of the album is supposed to be ironic"

[tfustudios]

I really miss Zappa!

[mee101022]

John Lofton is a big fat idiot.

Hopefully was, by now. I'll look that up.

[mark952]

the guy with the glasses is full of it

Frank rocks

[eliasinderhaug]

If Frank Zappa was alive, he should have run for president
