I like how you think he needs to learn the definition of liberal when he was talking about conservatives and you bring up nazis. Seems you’re the one who needs to learn some definitions.
@8:22 - "How much money do you make peddling this stuff, Mr. Zappa"? "Millions of dollars..." (finally turns and faces Washington Times, John Loften) "....Millions of dollars, Mr. Loften...." (Loften looks down at papers)
John Lofton: "Isn't the government's role to protect the general welfare and to protect families?" Frank Zappa: "Do you think that you're protecting somebody by taking away seven words?" Lofton just got owned.
Lofton is so ridiculously over the top I want to believe he’s just trolling. If not, I would be horribly depressed to acknowledge how intensely people will advertise their stupidity.
_Extremely_ annoying that the host, Thomas Braden, wouldn't shut up @0:26 and let us listen to the lyrics. Anyhoo, the (NSFW due to female breasts) song is: Song: **The Chauffeur** (1982) Album: Rio Artist: _Duran Duran_ ruclips.net/video/1B__8N5d_LA/видео.html
_The Chauffeur_ (1982) Lyrics: Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies And I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver Sing, sing, blue silver
Have any of you ever actually READ the Wash. Tymes....? Think of the editorial lustre of the N.Y. Post but with a dash of nativistic, bigoted, jingoistic, close-minded, spice tossed in. A 'newspaper' for people whose critical 'thinking' capacity would embarrass a 5 year old.......
Frank Zappa thinks Reagan was moving us to a "fascist theocracy"? Maybe in the mind of an aging rock star, but I saw nothing "theocratic" or "fascist" about Reagan, just decentralized, global-corporate greed. I used to wonder if Zappa was related to Mike Nesmith of the Monkees, given both seem so self-important and defensive.
You didn't live in their era so you can't say anything about it really. Censorship of anything is fascistic, its saying you can't see this because we know better than you. Its implying the state thinks it knows whats better for the people than for them to decide on their own. That's fascism.
"Sometimes the dumbest thing that gets said makes the point for you." - Zappa was the best!!!
Excellent quote 👍
"You're describing words that describe acts of fornication... Brutally."
"So?"
I love that!
Video from 1987 of Frank Zappa owning some old stuffed shirts on the debate of rock lyrics CNN crossfire - outstanding
It's like he was beamed down from the future, so out of their league
I love Zappa's Frothing remark to the retentive shoe salesman.
Zappa nailed the fascist state threat - NDAA. Ahead of his time.
“Do you really think that the founding fathers gave us the first amendment to defend songs that glorify Satanism and incest and suicide?”
“Absolutely.”
An actual constitutionalist.
Chairs 280$
Suit 1000$
John Lofton telling Frank Zappa to get out more, priceless
zappa's hilarious but also completely correct. rest in peace.
He's coming back
Thank you Zappa.
"You ought to get out more" lol
As a Conservative, Frank way WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more Liberal than any of today's Conservatives.
landyachtfan79 more liberal than most democrats too!
landyachtfan79 conservatives are the free spirits. They are only conservative with government.
lol free spirits. Yes the Nazis marching in Charlottesville seemed like regular peace loving hippies.

Zappa!! The Greatest Musician & my Biggest musical inspiration
@8:22 -
"How much money do you make peddling this stuff, Mr. Zappa"?
"Millions of dollars..."
(finally turns and faces Washington Times, John Loften)
"....Millions of dollars, Mr. Loften...."
(Loften looks down at papers)
"Moving toward a fascist theocracy" that is clear
Yeah He dead ass called it.
Here we are in 2021 and Roe Vs. Wade is about to get thrown out by the political hack Supreme Court that’s filled with religious zealots
With British accents this could be a Monty Python skit. It's scary that people might once have taken these stooges around Zappa seriously.
I like when he tells John Lofton to kiss his ass.
+Sean Romanowski I LOVE it when he tells John Lofton to kiss his ass.
Love the Pissed off Face of Lofton ofter he asked Zappa how much he earn with his Music "Millions of Dollars, Millions of Dollars Mr Lofton" Priceless
John Lofton: "Isn't the government's role to protect the general welfare and to protect families?"
Frank Zappa: "Do you think that you're protecting somebody by taking away seven words?"
Lofton just got owned.
The founding farthers didn't know about rock n roll
There's only one word to describe Lofton and it is clear even if you're in a neutral position in this debate: RIDICULOUS.
Lofton was such a smarmy joke.
7:12 hahaha, love this!
Government is government. Music is music. Don't combine the two.
6:12 come on SPANK FRANK ZAPPA!!
all are against zappa, but only zappa is remembered by the people despite the other craps that nobody remembers..
"Ill get a napkin for you when you drool"
@ 5:19 "As a matter of taste......"
Taste is only opinion and pointless to argue.

Zappa was way to Intelligent for these Buffoons, dont Mess with the Zappa Fella, R.I.P. GOOD SIR🇮🇲👍🇮🇲
AHAHAHA!!! The audio of this interview that talks about censorship, has been censored!!!
Only _children_ censor.
Adults **discuss** and even laugh about "taboo" subjects
Yeah I found out, but thanks!
seems so quaint now.
Tree Muppets and Zappa!
Lofton is so ridiculously over the top I want to believe he’s just trolling. If not, I would be horribly depressed to acknowledge how intensely people will advertise their stupidity.
Conservative: "You're an idiot."
Frank Zappa: "Kiss my ass."
Those 3 conservatives REALLY got owned.
" Are you an anarchist? ( Zappa ) No i am a Conservative and you may not like that but i am"..3:12 in...
Ban words, thoughts, moves, lifestyles, jobs, air...
This shit got me dying
All hail the one true Zappa.
Ahh typical America, 4 men having a very pleasant conversation
funny how americans, 30 years later, are still discussing the same thing
Could anyone tell me the name of the song that plays in the beginning, the one in the video they are complaining about?
_Extremely_ annoying that the host, Thomas Braden, wouldn't shut up @0:26 and let us listen to the lyrics. Anyhoo, the (NSFW due to female breasts) song is:
Song: **The Chauffeur** (1982)
Album: Rio
Artist: _Duran Duran_
ruclips.net/video/1B__8N5d_LA/видео.html
_The Chauffeur_ (1982) Lyrics:
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing blue silver
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
And I'll only watch you leave me further behind
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing blue silver
Sing, sing, blue silver
I would tell you what I think of Lofton but you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead.
For wherever john lofton is living. By now I hope he lives only by what the fat headed coalition in peace
Well… he’s not doing a whole lot of living right now, that’s for sure🤣🤣🤣
John Lofton - an awful awful excuse of a human being. Rude, condescending, self righteous .. list just goes on.
Damn I bet none of those older guys would imagine they’d look and sound like idiots in this day and age
Borat talks about music...
