Well said Mr Zappa

marych.bsky.social•32 days ago

Oh Frank, you were so right on, and I am glad you can’t see just how right you were. And just like today, the MSM doesn’t get a damn thing.

jackbeingbad.bsky.social•31 days ago

They get it. They couldn't sanewash the madness so well if they didn't get it.

pridefulflirt.bsky.social•33 days ago

He's Right Tho. Unfortunately.

dogdayzmom.bsky.social•33 days ago

Well…he wasn’t wrong…

veronicatess.bsky.social•31 days ago

Such a prophetic statement by Frank Zappa and scary the truth in it

bigstaff74.bsky.social•33 days ago

He has a lot of these out there trying to warn people and they scoffed at him.

Frank was no fool

Exactly people on TikTok have been commenting and wondering like when did this start in 2015? No it started when Reagan was in office. This has been in the works for a long time and they let it happen.

yourcanadiangf.bsky.social•30 days ago

it started with Jesse Helms and his anti-affirmative action ads

gaypolar.bsky.social•33 days ago

No, many people on tiktok have known this a long time…not sure what part of TT you’ve been on 😆

Hits the nail on the head, 40 years early.

jackbeingbad.bsky.social•31 days ago

It was years too late in the 80s. It's way late now.

At that time they had just barely started cutting wealthy taxes and adding loopholes.

ociocentez.bsky.social•33 days ago

Are some of those guys alive today?

Like... to question them if they still think the same...

claudinev.bsky.social•33 days ago

Zappa was a freakin genius!

sandianomano.bsky.social•33 days ago

@docstock80.bsky.social nailed it.

docstock80.bsky.social•33 days ago

Siempre certero.

sandianomano.bsky.social•33 days ago

Genio. A ver cuántos políticos harían un análisis tan acertado del futuro de la música.

smspencerauthor.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wow … nailed it

It’s so depressing to see how long and loudly we were warned.

@Sascha Pallenberg Zappa goes Simpsons

@eldescampao.bsky.social approves.😅😅

I had a debate with a coworker who said all morality comes from religion. That’s why that guy made the morality comment. He’s equating it with religion.

I guess that’s why atheists like me started the the Crusades and witch trials.

Huh? We didn’t? Weird, us being without morals and all.

shivatime.bsky.social•33 days ago

The last 20 years are like that.

chicozen.bsky.social•33 days ago

in less than 50 years.

Shortly afterward Bob Novak went on to expose CIA asset Valerie Plane during the Bush Sr. administration knowing the justice department would not prosecute him for treason. He died of a strange, rapid-onset incurable brain cancer very soon afterwards.

He was 100% spot on ;-;

Who knew Frank Zappa was so prophetic?

deputybradlaw.bsky.social•30 days ago

As well as poetic!

lfutterk.bsky.social•33 days ago

Wow.

Wieso hat Frank Zappa eigentlich so 'ne Ähnlichkeit mit George Orwell? Nur der Bart is größer irgendwie.

I’ve never saw them in the same room together…

coolisse.bsky.social•30 days ago

Maybe a time traveler.
That's why he knows about the future in both appearances.

I would much rather have had the Popular Mechanics predictions of flying cars and utopian society in the 21st century come true, but instead we got what Zappa said.
