Yes that's right, gubmint is Bad, all bad. It's not just Republican, gubmint kills freedom. Look my posts are gone from here look at what gubmint is doing to the tech companies they want to control the content, that's not freedom, wake up folks!

It makes me a little emotional to realize this was the last verse of lyrics he ever wrote - If you don't know by now, the truth of what I'm telling you, then surely I have failed somehow. And Jesus will think I'm a jerk, just like you. What an eerie conclusion to the spectacular commentary of his songwriting.
Everyone needs to watch Vic Berger's edits of Jim Bakker. I think Frank would have enjoyed the videos, besides the fact that Jim is still getting away with the same bullshit.
Hey y'all it's Tammy's birthday! (March 8) How old? Didn't catch it, don't care. Wonder if she still wears that ghastly make-up! Frank should still be here celebrating birthdays. Mothers of Invention Forever!
I don’t have any issues with religion itself. It actually does provide a good foundation for being a good human being, e.g. don’t kill, don’t rob, et cetera. The issue I think is with how it’s executed and that humans are programmed to look out for their own self interests in the name of survival. Also, the (bridge?) from 5:50-6:15 is beautiful.
This song is MOST amusing because there are lots of people I want to be able to believe Jesus thinks are jerks so that I can then justify everything I do to enable Jesus to have his way not WITH those people, but AGAINST those people. Many of my people problems come from my having Asperger's syndrome, with those people not understanding my unique issues, limitations, and weaknesses --- so go figure.
Don"t get me wrong, I played guitar in 2003 just like SUAPYG (parts I and II), BUT why tie up numerous musicians on Stage, and then generate something a 5th Grader with a Kazoo would Present at a PTA talent Show ?? The Genius bits are Dipped in Gallons of Dreck.
As true in 2020 as it was in 1988. Frank takes down about every conservative line. Substitute Trump for Bush, and notice that a lot of the same evangelical names are the same. Pat Robertson still lives! While Frank is in the ground. VOTE, WILL YA?
If Frank were alive he would be against cancel culture. Isn't that the entire point of the Joe's Garage album? I find it very hard to believe Frank would actually like the Democrat party these days. He would likely reject both.
@@OriginalSphincter Joe's garage warns us of what a totalitarian America could look like, as well as the various difficulties someone like Joe would face in such a society. Joe's garage is not about a group of people complaining over what some asshole said and or did.
@@WorldlyMistake313 censorship would indeed be a part of a totalitarian society. They didn't want Joe to express his music to the masses. According to what you just said that would make Joe the ass hole. It's okay, if you disagree. I just aim to a be a groovy old sphincter rather than a confrontational one.
@@OriginalSphincter He fought censorship attempts by both sides, he just fought Republicans more because they were the much bigger threat and still are. Conservatives have ALWAYS been the ones who want to “cancel” as far back as when the Catholic Church had Galileo arrested for heresy for teaching that the earth revolves around the sun.
anyone suggesting Frank would be a proponent of a political party in America today, just STOP. I'm not here to "think" for a deceased musician like some who comment on videos of Frank's works. I'm just here to call out those who do. Just because Frank had great dislike for the Reagan administration, doesn't mean he would blindly embrace todays Democrat party. The only person qualified to speak for Frank is Dweezil.
@@LongDaggerDick Thats your opinion. My opinion being that Dweezil is representative of his blood and family. Not only that, he "took over" the family business, by earning it like real hard working people.
@@LongDaggerDick You are right about that fact. Dweezil can speak of his experiences with his father and the things his father -has- said. Obviously Dweezil can't make Frank's Voicebox speak.
Frank tried so hard to make us aware of our social problems, created by the powers who control us. I love him so much, and miss him.
He didn't tried, he did it.
Oh how i wish frank was still around. Could you imagine the awesome stuff hed have written?!
Zappa's songs, insightful for their time, have become truer and truer with time. Scary.
yes listen to trouble coming every day that was over 50 years ago its happening right now in our country
The names have changed, but the song is still true.

This song is so prescient. What a genius.
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Kind-of more like everything he warned about, with the merging of the Republican party and evangelical Christians, came to pass. :(
Truth.
Truth.
Watching Zappa videos I have to admit is even more fun than listening to his music audibly.
I regularly spend an Evening With Frank Zappa, he had great incite into everyday problems that haunt society today.
It makes me a little emotional to realize this was the last verse of lyrics he ever wrote -

Can you explain what those lyrics mean to you? What makes them so prevalent? What makes them even relevant?
@@EternalChampion1988 warning of what? Why so cryptic?
Eerily accurate 31 years later.
Even Frank left.us in '93 his corpse would make a better president than any choices I've seen so far!!!!!!!
have not watched this for a long time always wonderful to see Frank what a loss to humanity he was spot on!
That was wonderful.
Testify Frank!
Everyone needs to watch Vic Berger's edits of Jim Bakker. I think Frank would have enjoyed the videos, besides the fact that Jim is still getting away with the same bullshit.
where's the TWILIGHT ZONE bridge??
Thanks Frank for speaking the truth!
Can someone tag Jeff Sessions?
Saw this tour!
Mee too. Divine.....I would say, if Frank wouldn't laugh at me for this word! :-D
Nice!!! This song comes from one of my favorite albums.
Saw this tour in Royal Oak, Michigan.
Brilliant!
Dank
I wish the Dynamic Eric Buxton bit was in this. Still a good song nonetheless.
Yeah. That whole twilight zone segment of the song was dropped because Ike couldn’t remember it all lol
Anyone else come here after Jerry Falwell Jr. scandal broke? Things change, but they don't.
Sadly Jim Bakker is still around.
Yup
OMG memories :)
Waiting for the audience shot of the cute chick singing along on the guy's shoulders.
Interesting variations on the version on 'Broadway The Hard Way'.

Dedicate this song to hillsong
Pat Robertson is DEAD! 🎉🥳

@@OriginalSphincter He rejected both then. He just seemed to hate the Republicans more. Which at least at that point in time I agree with.

Frank Zappa was very cynical, he wouldn’t “blindly follow” any political party or ideal.
Couldn't understand a word.

looks like coloured folks to me
Not Frank's best work
Five republicans watched this video!
Well, he talked shit on god and got ass cancer.
@@progradepainting3755 he never talked shit on any god, just the people who use god as a scapegoat to be blatant pricks lol
That's cute Django.
Now the song is about Trump and his MAGATS.
I dont subcsribe to Franks ideas here. But He has the right to beleive how he wants.
Zappa is the jerk.
I'm Christian and I love frank zappa but this song sucks God rest mr Zappa's soul
I apologize to everyone who had to hear this. Mankind can do better. I promise.
Say what?
Hell, I love this!!!
God Squad? 😆
No. No they can't. There is no better that FZ.
Haha! Jerk
