Frank Zappa Composer, Humorist, Guitar genious, cultural critic. Produced some of the most fantastic, uder-rated musical works in history. When it comes to slaughtering sacred cows with perfect musical prescision, there was NO ONE better than Frank. " I never wanted to play rock and roll". "I always wanted to Compose more serious music and it be performed in concert halls, but I knew no one would play it." "So I figured that if anyone was ever going to hear anything, I'd have to get a band together and play rock". The rest is history! Mech's picks......

I recently picked up his "Baby Snakes" 1979 NYC Concert re-mastered and re-issued on DVD. It's mindblowing how good the musicianship is!

WHEN THE LIES SO BIG
They got lies so big They don't make a noise They tell 'em so well Like a secret disease That makes you go numb
With a big ol' lie And a flag and a pie And a mom and a bible Most folks are just liable To buy any line Any place, any time
When the lie's so big As in Robertson's case, (That sinister face Behind all the Jesus hurrah)
Could result in the end To a worrisome trend In which every American Not 'born again' Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways By this treacherous cretin Who tells everyone That he's Jesus' best friend
When the lie's so big And the fog gets so thick And the facts disappear The Republican Trick Can be played out again People, please tell me when We'll be rid of these men!
Just who do they really Suppose that they are? And how did they manage to travel as far As they seem to have come? Were we really that dumb?
People, wake up Figure it out Religious fanatics Around and about The Court House, The State House, The Congress, The White House
Criminal saints With a 'Heavenly Mission' -- A nation enraptured By pure superstition
When the lie's so big And the fog gets so thick And the facts disappear The Republican Trick Can be played out again People, please tell me when We'll be rid of these men!

Well,
Frank..Prophetic again!
I know a lot of Christians that are wakening up to the fact that these people in power are using the name of Jesus, God, and such, to get over on them. A guy I work with, A devout Christian, believes Bush is the Anti-Christ. I said to him, that Bush is small potatoes, and the bigger Anti-Christians are in fact Robertson, Falwell, Reed, and other globalists. They want the vote of Christians, and not the peace and love that Jesus preached.
You will know them by their actions, and not their words.
