"The biggest threat to America today is not communism. It's moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that's happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe ... When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very, very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun..."

"It's fairly obvious, since Richard Nixon, that there is no such thing as a fair deal for any voter in the United States — You're just not gonna get it. It's a joke — the people that you vote for, they're the next best thing to criminals. But of course they have money for advertising campaigns that make them look a little bit better than they actually are"

"When God created Republicans, he gave up on everything else."

"If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you how to do your shit, then YOU DESERVE IT."

"I don't give a fuck if they remember me at all."

3. I often wonder

What Frank would have to sat about the current state of affairs in this country. I think that he saw it all coming. In his recording titled Broadway The Hardway he rails on the republican lies. I love that recording. His music never ceases to amaze me. He was the master of combining genres, and I am in awe of the way he could develop thematic material into a musical journey. I miss him.
