While doing some research with regard to this Yahoo-article on G. Dubya’s use of religion to justify war, I came across Bob Marshall’s 1988 interview with FZ, which I had read a couple of years back. Rather than to continue my googling, I ended up reading the interview in its entirety. It is a wonderful exposé of Frank Zappa’s razor sharp intellect, packed with great quotes and insights. It just made me realize that, with all the shit going on, Music Is The Best.
(Interesting aside: the interview pages are hosted on the site of the Marshall McLuhan institute. McLuhan made a special appearance in Woody Allen’s Academy Awarded film Annie Hall (1977) where Allen, playing Alvy, silences a self-impressed McLuhan expert in a movie line by pulling McLuhan out of a poster to tell the man, “You know nothing of my work!” I love that movie!)
