Frank Zappa - Lost Interview - The Presidential Elections(3-7)

[5Jelinek]

Frank, a smart person.

[dreamingWisdom]

The new Kennedy (in a way) in this generation is Ron Paul... the media ignores him over the other candidates and mock his supporters as 'bots' for being so supportive of him despite all of the comments about him being unelectable and a kook or insane...

[MillionthUsername]

So in order to not be a "fake," and to be a "good guy," you should cheat on your wife with every slut you can get your hands on? Ok. That concludes this week's morality lesson, kids.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

@MillionthUsername

Morality in relationships is different than other types of morality. Especially presidential.

What I can't stand is people judging someone's morals based solely upon a few subjects.

I know plenty of guys who make terrible husbands, but they are still really great guys.

[MjXllcommando]

3:00 cannot disagree with him more here. The news media isnt just going to interview anyone who they think is different. Quite the opposite actually, they try to cover people like that up

[ledboy53]

It's a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy,Why do people keep saying that word? Frank's a smart guy, I don't get that from him.

[SgtTravisBickle]

The US is NOT a Democracy. It's a Constitutional Republic -- which is better. That even FZ thinks it is, is proof of how deep the propaganda in this country is. Ron Paul 2012!

[hershysquirts187]

bush sr exceeded big time. and if frank saw george w. i mean forget about it.

[JSmusiqalthinka]

I wonder what Frank would've thought about all of the events of the last 10 years....

[utubehall]

A son of Baltimore - be proud! Never particularly liked his music bit appreciated his attitude. A genuine and sincere person who is greatly missed. When will people get a clue?

[raluboon]

Zappa would have been an amazing president. Why don't we elect frank and honest people like him? I'll never understand.

[rd40082]

@raluboon You are right, maybe honest peoples is not elected because super hidden powers rule the world and this kind of people is not convenient for them so they must be treated ad excentrics, mad and keep away

from directive positions.

he had acne on his forehead

[jackzapp57]

@cellardoor199991 dude you don't get acne at 52.obviously frank was very sick and on pain meds,check when he's scatching his nose at start of vid he hated drugs and stopped taking pain pills as he said they made him feel sicker.

[cellardoor199991]

@cellardoor199991 they're probably scars

[pretorious700]

His take on the electoral process is exactly what I have felt in my heart of hearts for about 25 years now. Thanks Frank.

[toiseywoisey]

"Good guys do sex" and "good guy" Frank fooled around on his faithful wife Gail on every tour stop (I know a woman who was with him every time he came to Los Angeles). He had a live-in concubine hidden in his basement recording studio for years.

[GordonMorrice]

@toiseywoisey That... is awesome.

[DanielMcDrtcomposer]

A great, great, great man. HELP, I'M A ROCK

[Parvenu333]

Zappa would have died of laughter when Clinton got impeached.

[toiseywoisey]

Kennedy would be considered a conservative today Frank! He cut taxes and was a hawk in war issues. Kennedy was a fake--he faked good health when he was nearly crippled. He was a traitor politically as he solicited the mobster Sam Giancana's help in throwing a state, then had his punk brother go after him when he won the election. And the Kennedy's fortune came from his father Joe's bootlegging during the Prohibition.

[yumpladukfoo]

@toiseywoisey

First, ALL president are puppets of a higher order. Fact. But, to say that Kennedy was "a fake" is too easy an accusation given with no thought of revisionist history......in other words, born from "official" and/or corporate media opinion. Kennedy was assassinated because of his ideas to normalize relations with Russia, an end to the Vietnam war, and his stand on civil rights. Many had much to lose if he succeeded. And they wouldn't allow it, it's called cash bro, wake up!!

[29rep]

Frank Zappa as the President of the United States. Man, that would be some world..

[Kinjamaimai]

"They call me up whenever they need the oddball opinion". Why is it that all great truths start out as 'oddball opinions'? I think that people who see the truth are always 20-30 years ahead of the pack.

It's sad that we don't listen to them more.

[flibbertergibbet]

2' 30'': he just predicted more or less exactly what happened in the UK 2010 general election!

[andygray]

Thanks for posting this...FZ is sadly missed.

[microwaves25]

hes so smooth and has got a great demeanor about him. very nice to listen to. fresh and intelligent

[AtanasovPeter]

to be honest when i think of Frank the first thing that comes to mind is not the music that he did but just how very smart he was and could see bullshit down the road from 100 miles just like George Carlin...

[BleekerSoL]

I think if Zappa had lived and been healthy he would eventually have gone in to politics. When he talks about running for president here it really sounds like he'd thought about it a lot. That would have been aewsome. If only we had a Zappa equivalent in the UK now - I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, instead of any of the other identikit fakes.

[DimensionsofChange]

Reminds me of that Man of the Year movie with Robin Willians

[TheGoodnessIsGood]

Linden Johnson REPEALED Kennedys silver reserve backed $20 bills that were a direct competition to the criminal federal reserve cartel money in circulation WHILE he was on air force one ON THE WAY to Dallas HOURS after Kennedy had died. He got sworn in, then REPEALED the decision as virtually his first act as president. What does THAT tell you about Kennedy's death. It was staged, and the ones behind it are the criminal bankers and their criminal agents.

[superfatman900]

whenever he said if i was the president always reminds me of steppenwolf's the pusher.

[aliengreed]

"good guys do sex" zappa - what a legend...

[tbarnhart]

Great. Well he actually smoked about 12 joints in in lifetime. He just doesnt like people throwing up on him or falling on him....respect.

[muddy2]

So wonderfully logical - it's no wonder the average brand/political party associating public didn't get him.

[corporatefascism]

a teatotaler and never took drugs...very weird

[mommyimadeapoopy]

i could listen to this guy talk for seven hours and not even begin to get bored.

[arjunkaul]

Yup...couldn't agree more

[p0llenp0ny]

I think I've been on the Zappa interviews for about that long now. Thank god the Zappa family isn't threatening youtube with legal action.

[JCfromDC2]

@mommyimadeapoopy Smart, witty, sarcastic, musically and intellectually. I still miss him. Had 63 albums of his at one time

[yumpladukfoo]

@mommyimadeapoopy

Me too, brother!

[MyWoody26]

@mommyimadeapoopy Same I know almost nothing about him but I just love the ways he looks at things. Theres nothing more interesting.

[shanebieda]

His taste in music has the same popularity as his taste in government if you know what I mean.

[cjk9013]

If he were alive today he would be grouping Dubya with Nixon for sure.

[LUCALIONETTI]

PRESIDENT!!!

[PhototropicLemon]

staged nonsense

that reminds me something..

[MusicJew158]

I don't understand how everyone says how abstract and oblique for obliqueness sake everyone says Zappa is. He is so straightforward, common sense it is ridiculous. He is fucking brilliant and clearly had passionate views about stuff which is awesome cause he seems to be right.

[BanHan]

Yeah, I agree. Frank Zappa whenever debating anything about the real world, was always straight to the point. I would have voted for him.

[muddy2]

Frank's view on life and everything was always so realistic, straight forward and honest that it brightens my day every time I hear or read what he had to say. I hope where-ever he is, there's him, Hicks and Carlin having some awesome dinner conversation!

[mambajam]

@muddy2

I TOTALY AGREE

[BenHardy]

Oh, we really need him now

[motakay]

are those scares on the forehead?

[LUCALIONETTI]

R.I.P.

[johnhart30]

Zappa places things into such an awesome perspective.

[Farksisten]

I've come to realize what Frank also realized - the entire world we live in is fake. But at the same time, it's the only world we got. You gotta make the best out of it!

[aodscarecrow]

great
