Where are the Zappa's and Hicks' when you need them?

This is the great Frank Zappa in 1984 with brutal truths on the music industry.

It is sort of an adversarial styled interview. It gets outrageous later on when John Lennon is raised by the MTV person. So John Lennon was basically a scumbag. The deep state algoritms can actually be worked to one's advantage. I said something about the Beatles were on deck to get exposed for stuff and it shows up without having to look.

Lennon told Zappa he wasn't as ugly as he had heard which obviously hurt Frank's feelings. John Lennon and Yoko stole a song from Frank Zappa.

Here's Zappa on Letterman in 1983:

It gets very interesting. Jim Sullivan hired Wrecking Crew. Zappa paid for the London Symphony.


The greatest bit of comedy I've ever heard was Hicks on Jay Leno:
