and the lyrics from Franks song about TV

I am gross and perverted

I'm obsessed 'n deranged

I have existed for years

But very little has changed

I'm the tool of the Government

And industry too

For I am destined to rule

And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious

But you can't look away

I make you think I'm delicious

With the stuff that I say

I'm the best you can get

Have you guessed me yet?

I'm the slime oozin' out

From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you

And eat the garbage that I feed you

Until the day that we don't need you

Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled

It has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told

Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .

Don't touch that dial

>One thing I thought was strange in his defense against censorship, "they're only words." Fine, but why write lyrics?

???

I'm missing some part of that

because it makes no sense

censorship is the antithesis of creativity

>and calling it art?

who calls it art?

>>8962531

struggle against constraints is a staple of art

internal constraints

external constraints

I would not go so far as to consider censorship's primary effect as being

>having constraints/limits to art is a creation multiplier

>>8962555 (cheKEKed)

and WHO CALLED IT ART?

>>8962558

indeed there was much fuckery there

and with Zappa's upbringing and family life

I'm still unconvinced Zappa was "controlled opposition"

I admit it is a possibility

I also point to his very poor commercial success as counterpoint

Why would a sponsored "controlled opposition" operator suffer from lack of commercial success?

In any case many people appreciate Frank Zappa the composer, while at the same time not being fond of his lyrics or video efforts.

>if you're free to create anything and it doesn't have to have any meaning whatsover, why bother?

that's the difference between a lover and a whore

who determines the meaning of art?

the artist?

or the audience?

does a true artist always create for the audience?

>>8962604

compare that with Jim Morrison's output, backing, exposure and profit margins and then we'll talk

>>8962615

some people hot

some people cold

some people

not very swift to behold

some people do it

some see right thru it

some wear pojamas

if only they knew it
