What a SCUM BAG.[/center][/quote]<br>LOL, Teddy Ruxpin is a guy I know from the Bungle board.  ;D

thanks d_g for a bit of much needed bring-the-band-down-behind-me-boys perspective...found that reference in no commercial potential, zappa explaining the problem with serious music:



the use of faggot was appropriate, frank coulda said 40 yr.old gay men or 40 yr.old homos, but a true homophobe uses faggot indiscriminatly on either straights or homos

frank went pretty easy on homos in general compared to women, you got bobby brown, i'm so cute, dong work, punky, i'm a beautiful guy (debatable), he so gay & a chunk of thingfish and 'the masked man's a fag' on ycdtos v3 but not a lot else compared to the amount of time he spent slagging on the subject of women

_________________

the word faggot is derogatory in either case, but far more derogatory if he were referring to straights as faggots

_________________

it's pure insult if you're straight, there's some truth if you're not

Interesting to see how this thread is going.... Disco Boy, sorry if you read what I said wrong, but I did NOT mean that Frank literally wanted to shot a woman in Your Mouth, or that this situation happened to him. I did state that some people (men and women) have had the fantasy---even though they would not ACTUALLY do it--of getting some sort of revenge on the person who "done them wrong". How did I say FZ ha this happen to him? You are an intelligent guy, but like a few Zappa fans here (yeah, I'm generalizing, so shoot me), you take what others say about Our Leader WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. I may not agree with everything he said or wrote, but I have a sense of humor and realize that this was Frank, WARTS 'N' ALL

I'll kick your ass!"

[quote author=Underwoods Son link=board=quotes;num=1105786629;start=90#94 date=01/21/05 at 15:38:23]<br><br>sure By the way, I really didnt want to start an argument with that joke. Basically all I was saying that I didnt exactly like the notion of CB immediately replacing Frank, thats it. So, let's try not to get in an argument. I'm sure we've all seen and been involved in our share of those. [/quote]<br>The way I saw it was you saying Beefheart is horrible...bit of a misunderstading is all.  8)

[quote author=Ronnys Noomies link=board=quotes;num=1105786629;start=90#96 date=01/21/05 at 19:54:18] but it seems to me that most of the time it's the man telling a woman to lighten up about sexist remarks. Or the white guy telling the black guy to lighten up about racist remarks. [/quote]<br>Oh, Doc Doc Doc...are you SURE you believe that is how it is RIGHT NOW? Once upon a time, yes, but RIGHT NOW?<br><br>For years the pendulum was swung in that direction, for sure. Then efforts were made to make things "more fair," which to me means bringing the pendulum to rest in the center.<br><br>However, I've seen that the pendulum has now swung fully in the other direction, giving full immunity to women and anybody that is not white, especially blacks, to say anything they want with no accountability or repercussions whatsoever, while white guys better carefully measure every word they say or else.<br><br>I have loads of personal observations to back this up, as well as many many media examples. And I haven't gone looking for this stuff, it's in my face every day...I couldn't miss it if I tried.

how did frank reconcile his whole image with his family? depends on how he treated them....we'll probably never know the true story, but if he was a complete non-chauvanist with the women in his famiy & explained why he had to wrote those lyrics [to sell more albums, it's only music, it's only words etc.], they'd have 2 choices; accept it or not



frank spun the facts to suit his mood, he embelished or dis-informed when convinient at the time, particularly questions about his opinions on non-musical topics



the pen's mightier, bro



if'n you believe that, you've been shakin it more'n 3 times
frank = sexist....all men = sexist
frank was too intelligent to be homophobic
all men be cursed
