Poem by Hone Tuwhare from 1975 NZ Maori Land protest march
In 1975 I made a documentary following a historic Maori protest march from the top of the North Island of New Zealand to the Parliament in Wellington. The marchers were protesting about the alienation of their tribal lands. On the march was a well known local poet. He wrote this poem and we filmed footage to cover it...

Просмотров 358 тыс.4 года назад
A never seen interview with Frank Zappa by NZ film maker Geoff Steven who was reseaching a documentary of global TV culture and spend an entertaining and informative afternoon with Frank discussing the current state of American television and its effect on the country. Frank's thoughts on MTV;Soap Operas,censorship and particualy Network News coverage are all discussed in this revealing recentl...
Kia ora Geoff. Could you tell me who narrated this poem?
You are remembered. 😊
❤❤❤
Wonder if Frank watched Keeping Up Appearances
What s depressing man😩
What WTFIS Squadism
What would he of made of Woke culture I wonder. Al Bundy was wise and witty his character
I miss Frank a lot we use to go see the mothers at the waterbury Palace in the 70s -80s such great shows. he's in heaven which is where I wanna go.
That pulsa de nura thing is hilarious🤣
There is 🎉 only one AMERICAN, guess who ❤😊. Let's say it is not YOU,who can it be when it's not you,NO its not Moshe Dayan, can it be any of the other president candidates. ...now guess! Does it smell like fish or smegma !
frank zappa is extraordinarily intelligent
He passed years ago and his interviews still have as much replay value as his music. Brilliant man. 👏
Zappa was way ahead of his time on how Fathers are viewed by society in the west .
Family matters and fatherhood are something Frank has no clue what so ever. A man has to spend time with his wife and children in order to understand how a family functions. Look into how Valley Girls originated and you'll find that his daughter came up with the idea in order to spend time with her Dad who almost never was there and when he was he slept or was in his studio and was not to be disturbed. I love Frank but to hear him talk with authority on a subject foreign to him has to be mentioned...TY
Like most working men/fathers. We sacrifice personal time to grow our family. Some one has to, man. It's stood the test of time.
Frank's head would have exploded during the Biden administration if he thinks that stuff was bad.
RIP You'd cringe to death with what's going on now.
wonder what he would have thought of biden or harris.
Frank Zappa was a fool, a highly intelligent fool.
Its funny that Zappa thought the media was controlled by the Right.
I thought he died in 86
This is a recording. But for the record he passed away in 1993.
Zappa was 100% right but even he didn't see how bad things would become. Now, it's no longer a right wing control system. It's a left too. In fact, it's no longer either. Myabe it always WAS a corporate and political one. With no actual sides? Plus, now, there's ENDLESS garbage online. Created to manipulate us to make us de sensitized to what they NEED us to be apathic to and emotionally vunerable to be the same media (better known as propaganda to keep us at each other's throats while not thinking clearly). All the movements of the left, that Zappa saw the beginnings of before/during the 60s, were by the early 90s, close to selling out to the same control system they'd used to be the counter point to. Look at all the left leaning shows which are either one sided, hosted by talented people who have become political zombies or others who clearly have to be careful what they say. Zappa's attitudes and comments here ARE still on point except, things have gotten worse than he coul ever foresee. If alive NOW? He'd be considered a huge threat to both rigth and left, as well as the REAL people pulling their strings. WHY? Because people who think for themselves, are smart to see past their own ego and have never allowed the oprions of others to pollute/compromise their world view = are DANGEROUS. He was cynic and distrusted everyone. Plus, he was both unwilling to compromise, as well as dificult. He was outside the 'echo chamber' and wanted it that way. But, again, he knew, having cancer he wouldn't have to worry about seeing the shit REALLY hit the fan. RIP Frank Zappa. We do miss you. BOY, do we miss you
What is that white thing?
I attended two of Franks concerts in 79 and 81 at the Alladin theater for the performing arts in las Vegas when stationed there in the Air Force. The best concerts I’ve ever been to. Frank was genius, a wordsmith and a visionary. He saw exactly what the Reagan republicans were trying to do, turning America into a theocracy. I only wish he were around today, he would be shredding maga to pieces!
❤️
lol frank totally watched 90210 but he pretended not to know the name hahaha lol Zappa liked TV but he also liked to critique it in true blunt Zappa fashion.
fu frank we dont miss you🤔
butthurt fascist
ПОКОЙСЯ С МИРОМ МАСТЕР ЗАППА!САНКТ ПЕТЕРБУРГ
"FIRE OFF A SUPER PULSA DENOURA!" I'm fuckin' dying. XD
I think a lot like Frank but he is just so much better at articulating his thoughts than I. Particularly at 5:11 when he talks about American fathers being portrayed as stupid. This has now broadened to include almost all male characters in children's movies and tv show.s The males are depicted as stupid and weak and the females as wise and strong.
Poor Framk, looks like the nerve from his ass got tangled with the nerve from his eye and he had a shitty outlook on life. Another righteous America hating big mouth. He had all the answers but smoked like a chimney. 🤔
Zappa as always way ahead of the curve.
Dude was insightful.
it is hard to agree with Frank here as t.v has been dummy-downed so much more..! Pay t.v was just winding up and satellite tv- where i lived- if you had one of those, consider it the earliest version of the internet.. But bang-on the horror of this open communication in the US and Canada to all institutions- white, non-descript vans parked outside suburban homes working for the FEDERAL GOV't looking to incarcerate folks who were rabbit-earring their way to free pay-t.v signals.. Canada ain't free;) But Zappa's keen eye to to basic stupidity of the brain regardless is always steady, unwavering and correcto-mondo.. Truly, Zappa never let the main source of his entertainment be marshalled out to any corp. and remained firmly in his control. main source of his entertainment? HIS BRAIN:) viva Zappa!
It would have been a boon for the world for this man to live a few more decades. RIP Frank.
“because I’m an amateur sociologist” is such a beautiful, humble answer. It reframes all his previous, rather grand statements and qualifies his ideas without any narcissistic claims to unique insight or revelation.
love listening to Frank
Life is imitating art in 2024. With social media giving people the ability to fuel their narcissistic desires you have people speaking like movie characters. I had an acquaintance of mine tell a couple of us at the bar one night during a heated political debate “men like me can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Men like me just want to watch the world burn.”. 😂😂 his girlfriend luckily told us all that that was a quote from a Batman movie and rolled her eyes at him. But art no longer reflects life. It romanticizes it in a very dishonest way.
I think on that quote sometimes.
Very EXCELLENT points on safety and family.........😢
Unfortunately, career adults always leave their families behind. Although sometimes their accomplishments are noteworthy, their lack of family legacy is simply hollow and wanting. A tough dividing line…
31 years gone and still missed very much.
A lot of good sense.
Brilliant interview. Thanks, Frank. 😊
ZAPPA AND CARLIN TOLD THE TRUTH NOT ENOUGH LISTENED !!! HENSE YOU GOT T RUMP THE STUPIDEST IN HISTORY. YOU WERE WARNED ....
Latter day Mark Twain
Zappa was not a great dad himself, ask his kids.
Elaborate
Is there any other musician/composer out there with the amount of emotion and foresight that Zappa had? Music is kind of lost for musicians.
The dumbing down of society. He saw it coming
He would have been a great president, would never be allowed to happen of course.
I wonder what’d he’d say about streaming tv
Think of it like this Frank Zappa is the Albert Einstein of musicians❤
