I'm starting to run out of Zappa interviews to watch... It makes me sad because I could listen to this genius speak for hours. I'd love to have asked him about certain topics that face us in the modern world, he would have a great perspective on it all if he were still around.
DoomKid yeah ye did try an warn us ,of where things were going an it just just as he predicted . Folk's like him wont stay long the folks in charge makes sure of that .
This came out in the 80's death metal was getting started around this time. So even this isn't the good ol' days because if it has screaming a good chunk of conservatives hate it.
Just want to say Ted is actually a straight forward, decent and good journalist / interviewer, who asks intelligent, poignant questions and makes constructive points.
@@cap2205 These people are TV personalities who give their own opinions about current events, not journalists who stay objectively neutral. You can say that the days of real journalism are gone because even in local news people can't help but injecting their feelings and opinions while "reporting" news. What can we do, back then it was public service. Now it is business model.
Frank Zappa was one of the best musician and composers in the 20th Century. Frank was never fake and he always gave a great concert. Some of his songs are controversial but they are entertaining.
Good on Zappa for saying "there was never anything that even resembled a revolution," about the 60s. if no power changes hands, then, no, that's not a revolution.
I've never been a huge fan of Frank's music (Though I acknowledge he was a genius), but I could listen to the guy talk for hours. Such a wonderfully interesting brain.
Frank's kids seemed to have come out completely fine and actually much more smart than most. My parents didn't censor me from anything. For instance, I played GTA3 at age 8. I'm not out killing people. Censoring people keep people closed off and strange
2 of his kids came out fine. The other 2 didn't. Not his fault. The older 2 talented kids are often referred to as "Frank's kids". The other 2 are often referred to as his wife's kids. Look into the Zappa family in-fighting, law-suits, etc.
Well, you're obviously pretty young then. Prince built his entire brand on being controversial, but compared to what's the norm today, it is rather tame. But then again, times, and sadly, the quality of music has definitely changed drastically.
Daniel Tinker And now he’s dead thanks to the excesses of his degenerate lifestyle. I can understand why parents don’t want to have his influence in their kids lives but Donny was right; you better start early if you want a chance.
During the same time period (1980s) you had bands like: 2 Live Crew, Slayer, GG Allin, Morbid Angel, The Genitorturers, The Cramps, Agent Orange, etc. etc. etc. So I'm not exactly sure why they were picking on Prince.
Im a big Zappa fan, but Donny Osmond actually makes the best point in this whole discussion, which proved to be the most prescient over time. Rating albums actually pushes artists to be more "provacative" Which is exactly what happened.
Thank you for uploading these. They were very interesting to watch. A neat view of the beginning of ratings/censorship during the first 2 years of my life. Very fascinating interviews!!
Glen Scammell makes me wonder if the NWO Illuminati killed him like the speculations of recent deaths of famous controversial people that just suddenly died
Here's an idea. Let children see and here whatever. If they are too young to understand, they won't get it anyway. If they are old enough to understand, they are already old enough to understand. Teach kids instead of dropping them off at some daycare or babysitter and you wouldn't need some rating system. But Zappa was too smart for imbeciles. Donny was right, also. Rating them just put flashing neon signs that said HEY, this one is going to be HOT!
@@coachchris548 He isn't saying that the kids should parent themselves, He is saying that in regards to music, kids should be able to hear whatever they want to hear. I personally agree with him, as I feel it is important for kids to form their taste in music early in their lives. If you actually read the comment all the way through he literally said "Teach kids instead of dropping them off at some daycare or babysitter". What he said only pertains to music, not to parenting as a whole.
"When conservatives have lost the argument, there are three things they fall back on to still try to win: religion, patriotism, and children." - George Carlin
Now that it's 30 years later, I look at this and see that Zappa was right. Ever since they came out with this "rating" crap, the music has gotten more and more provocative. Zappa should have been President.
rbagel55 Donnie Osmond was right too, putting a sticker on an album saying it may be offensive to young people and those young people WILL buy more of that product then if it didn't have the sticker on it. All any parent has to do is look back at when they were teenagers and what their parents thought was acceptable, descent and nice. They rallied against it. It's the way of the world. The proof is it's now 30 years later than 1980. What do we have?...The same old same old that has been going back for a dozen generations.
I still have my ZAPPA for President bumper sticker, I just loved the man and yes he should have been our president, of course in this evil world that couldn't happen!
@@stevenschoen398 I think the label's point was to help the parents to know what is appropriate for their kids. The problem is that most people are shit parents and don't give a fuck.
Fortunately, Zappa wasn't the only artist with integrity against censorship. Even John Denver, not a guy known for explicit lyrics at all, was taking a stand against it.
@Andrew Dice Clay - Because Judas Priest don't need another stupid lawsuit against them because someone's teenager decided they wanted to know what a bullet tastes like when fired.

I listened to Frank Zappa as a kid. I never wanted to rape someone or abuse a child in any way. I also listened to all the other so called " Morally dangerous" bands of the 70's up until today and never have I ever done anything wrong as far as what types of morally repugnant activity that Tipper Gore and the PMRC claimed that it would cause. I started listening to Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa at an early age 12 and they have only made me a smarter person if anything.
Wow, I feel old. This was going on when I was in 7th grade. Don Imus hit it on the head though. Most of the really controversial lyrics they were talking about were from obscure bands. My health teacher decided to jump on this bandwagon and put on a presentation for our class about the dangers of music. I was introduced to bands like 'The Mentors' and 'WASP'. Two bands I never even heard of. I went to the record store the next day to look for the albums.
We love Frank Zappa! Died way too soon. I just love it here where he easily held his own against the "Miss Know It All" known as Tipper Gore. I can't believe Tipper Gore didn't have anything better to do with her time back in the day.

With the upcoming documentary on FZ hitting the screens, he will be getting some long overdue extra exposure and attention. Hopefully it will switch a lot of people on. Music is art. Not RUclips. FZ would have ruled these platforms. We need Frank and we need him NOW. Go tell your friends. Buy his records. Not downloads. Frank Zappa is the king. Never to be beaten, over-shadowed or ignored. The highest level of respect we can afford him is to enjoy his music and listen to what he says and throw in a little bit of 200 Motels on the side.
I find this hilarious. Every 13 yr old rocker heard WASP's Fuck Like Beast. They very kids they were trying to protect heard all of this stuff. Most parents hadn't a clue as to what their kids were listening to and didn't care. At the time, the PRMC was looked at as a group of Senators Wives with nothing to do.
It was the talk of the town when the hearings were televised. I finally got to see the man, in a suit, on the hill taking congress to task. awesome. Frank hated what Reagan had turned the republican party into. Im just glad he didnt get to see what Bush and Donnie T did to it.. lol. I hope it dies a slow painful death.

My grandma bought me Appetite for Destruction when I was 10. 🤣🤣🤣🤣Love you, grandma! Peace.
I got appetite for my 10th bday! And it was also my grandmother who bought it for me.
"some of it has the most way out kind of sex. im talking chainsaw material."
HHHHAHAHAH! jesus christ. the desperation is real.
Chainsaw sex? I want some!
Frank Zappa was SAVAGE.
We love Frank Zappa! Died way too soon. I just love it here where he easily held his own against the "Miss Know It All" known as Tipper Gore. I can't believe Tipper Gore didn't have anything better to do with her time back in the day.
tesla was so ahead of his time that he looked like a rockstar of the future
Zappa. We miss you so much Frank.!!!
'you cant tell em apart can you?' hilarious
frank zappa had the smoothest fucking voice.
Zappa is so awesome!!
Its funny how a computer, and a mp3, and program named napster, beat it all out lol.
One of the greatest minds of the centuries
The philosophy and psychology of Dr. Frank Zappa.
Brilliant.
Porn rock ??? Yea labeling is a great idea. Kids will always say "Where do I get some".
Paul Kersey says "Jews control the music industry. Stop hating on White people." EdgeRay 1309 replies "Paul Kersey Jews are white."
I was drinking coffee when I read this and some of it got on my laptop. I couldn't help it. Sooo funny.
I'm glad the term porn rock has barely survived
2. Nightline (American TV News) September 13th, 1985 segment is unreal. Soooo legendary.
"Nobody's talking about taking away your right to..."
Assembly
Association
Consensual Sex
Guns
Reproductive Choices
Recreational Drugs
Speech
"...we just want common sense legislation."
All these years later and Frank's words make more sense than ever.
The way she pronounced "Motley Crue" was a thing of beauty.
Mot Lee CREW!
It's properly pronounced as: garbage.
Assiman Garbage are a totally different band.
With the upcoming documentary on FZ hitting the screens, he will be getting some long overdue extra exposure and attention. Hopefully it will switch a lot of people on. Music is art. Not RUclips. FZ would have ruled these platforms. We need Frank and we need him NOW. Go tell your friends. Buy his records. Not downloads. Frank Zappa is the king. Never to be beaten, over-shadowed or ignored. The highest level of respect we can afford him is to enjoy his music and listen to what he says and throw in a little bit of 200 Motels on the side.
I find this hilarious. Every 13 yr old rocker heard WASP's Fuck Like Beast. They very kids they were trying to protect heard all of this stuff. Most parents hadn't a clue as to what their kids were listening to and didn't care. At the time, the PRMC was looked at as a group of Senators Wives with nothing to do.
Poor Frank is just exasperated dealing with these pinheads.
He got paid well as he should
I don't think I've ever heard the names Frank Zappa and Donny Osmond used in the same sentence.
It was the talk of the town when the hearings were televised. I finally got to see the man, in a suit, on the hill taking congress to task. awesome. Frank hated what Reagan had turned the republican party into. Im just glad he didnt get to see what Bush and Donnie T did to it.. lol. I hope it dies a slow painful death.
