Frank Zappa on CNN Crossfire part 1

[globalchaos1984]

John Lofton is such a fat fascist pig that cant deal with differing opinions.

[BlargGargle]

Why is John Lofton such an expert regarding songs about incest? Fucking weirdo. XD

[acronus]

@ 5:19 "As a matter of taste......"

Taste is only opinion and pointless to argue.

[Kamisamadesu1]

Always knew Zap was a genius...but he was also a visionary. How did he know that Sarah Palin would come along?

[AudioVisualMatter]

Thank you, zaxmania, for uploading a version of this *without* the screwed-up audio.

[deconstructionist67]

John Lofton is a scumbag. 

[Tdfaria]

@deconstructionist67 omfg!! i can't stand that fucking guy!!!

if i was in the audience (if there was an audience) i would get up, punch that guy in the face and shake hands with frank zappa

tha guy is fucking disgusting!!

[Walrus333]

Note that Zappa describes himself as a CONSERVATIVE. So people who blame this censorship bullcrap on conservatives are full of shit.

[MrChirpsky]

With British accents this could be a Monty Python skit. It's scary that people might once have taken these stooges around Zappa seriously.

[InternetAddict2012]

Man, Zappa is just smack dab in the middle of a bunch of assholes..

[Chaostamer]

"Well, I tell you what, kiss my ass. How do you like that, buddy?"

[Kurkgrand]

My dear Zappa, you have committed the terrible sin of thinking freely. That's what the sticky, sappy and conservative America does not support.

[unclejmb]

"We're talkin' about words!" Love ya Frank.

[AllStarRick]

what song is getting played at 30 secs?

[ewankruger]

The Chauffeur, Duran Duran

[ExMachine]

Actually what music are they talking about? Which songs is Lofton referring to that advocate incest?

[Chaostamer]

@ExMachine It's heavily implied that they're referring to Prince's "Sister," a song from his 1980 album "Dirty Mind". Prince capitalized on shaking up American standards and, interestingly, was the inspiration for the "Parental Advisory" labels on music today (specifically his song "Darling Nikki").

[ExMachine]

@Chaostamer- Thank you, if true that -is- interesting *goes off to listen to 'Darling Nikki' *. Ask a question on youtube and -someone- will know the answer (even if it takes a year!).

[fenderjbass1349]

pretty much owned

[bocgas]

Spank his ass Frank...

[patnais102]

9:08 John Lofton received a real kick in the face hahahahaha this debate rock! Zappa is the man but I prefer Shawn Lane in the musical domain

[mrhumanamerican]

John Lofton does not get it, as evidenced by his frequent deflection tactics and laughable fumbling. My guess is that he had expected to steamroll some dopey "rocker" with the same emoted stupidity. Blooper! No amount of output from The American View or The Heritage Foundation or tomorrow's The Good Guys Traditionalist Club will reverse this epic failure, and yet Lofton continues to mock the grave. What an ass.

[inventiontension]

The power of video in the past and the power of the internet today. John Lofton (sp) 4:58 - 5:08 is a fool forever on youtube.

[butlincat]

frank zappa is arguably the greatest guitarist and lyricist that ever lived...praise be to Uncle Frank!!
