Jeebus: The perfect conservative


 Herman - over there at RedState - has news for you:
He led without a mandate. He taught without a script. His common sense parables filled people with promise and compassion, His words forever inspiring.
[....]
The liberal court found Him guilty of false offences and sentenced Him to death, all because He changed the hearts and minds of men with an army of 12.

His death reset the clock of time.

Never before and not since has there ever been such a perfect conservative.

One of the last interviews.
I love this man more than I could ever describe. He was my role model when I needed one the most - at age 16.
Zappa exercised his genius for 25 years with not a single misgiving about all the shit he took from his plentiful critics, while at the same time leaving behind a body of musical work that would rival Debussy in scope, and would demote Philip Glass to the role of Court Dooofus.

The Zappa legacy lies, however, in his common sense but conservative snarky cynicism, rooted in a profound distrust of stupid adults. Frank Zappa hated ignorant, phony people and the entire focus of his work expresses that sentiment.

It's nearly impossible to like all of his stuff. No matter. Zappa will influence American Rock Music for generations to come.
