Most of us have seen the earlier one of Zappa on CNNs "Crossfire" from 1986. This is a follow up clip recorded sometime in July (I think) 1987.

This follow up video deals with the whole "ratings" system BS. This one is hosted by Peter Gemma & Michael Kinsley. Guests are Frank Zappa and the PMRC toadie Jeff Ling. Believe it or not, one of the BS questions was "Does rock music cause AIDS".

Frank Zappa's views on censorship weren't "ahead for his times" actually - but more in line with old "classic liberalism" [or what we in the late 20th century know it as: "libertarianism"].

I hope y'all enjoy this clip as much as I did. See Part I here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDDIiIOFE_Q

  • These guys would shit the bed if they heard music today.

  • Frank was right. The original PMRC was nothing but a bunch of elitist housewives connected with senator husbands and nothing to do.

  • The biggest irony is that most teenage metalheads are virgins XD

  • At least the host can see through their bullshit too.

  • That guy looks like a fat Josh Homme.

  • There's something really masturbatory about those two stooges in the studio patting each other on the back constantly.

  • these fuckers are driving me fucking crazy!DONT TALK OVER PEOPLE

    

  • sad sad! He's CUTTING THROUGH BRAINS OF BUTTER.fuck the 80's

  • You have to give it to the host who called the two suits to task while giving due credence to Zappa's points which, as someone said here, were "the hot knife of reason cutting thru the butter that is the bullshit coming out of theses guys' mouths"

  • Funny how the guy with the 70's porno mustache is preaching morality to Frank and the fat ass who never had sex is pissed off about anything that is....you guessed it.........sexual.

  • holy fuck those people are fucking stupid. Bill O Reilly stupid. Frank is a genius, the DK never got any exposure on the MTV...
