Related: About this forumMy hero, Frank Zappa, on how he would have run for President
Which might have actually happened if he didn't catch a fatal case of prostate cancer back in the early 90's.
Interesting commentary about running as a no party independent and not spending any money on the campaign, which seems to have been the Orange Nazi's tactics so far.
Other interesting stuff on what I would call the entrenched establishment parties and the powers that be. Probably recorded very early 90's, but he was always what I call a "classic thinker" who's concepts and observations are so keen they remain valid over time.

Real Interesting
Believe it or not- I actually wrote his name in for Prez , I think it was the first election in which I voted
My mother was working the precinct & she knew exactly who's ballot it was.
I saw them a few times, at the old Shrine Auditorium and one New Year's Eve at the Olympic Auditorium
Zappa was a mad, not so mad , genius
