  Apart from the comic value of this interview in which Frank Zappa presents his views on censorship, I found it interesting that he was mocked for suggesting that the US was set on a course that was leading to a 'Fascist Theocracy'. This was recorded in 1986 so the quality is a little ragged, but the spirit shows through!

  This is not a 'short' listen.

  Frank Zappa obviously didn't have a clue.

  Back in 1986 we had censorship in place under the medium of the fairness in broadcasting doctrine. But it was conservative opinion which was being suppressed instead of liberal. That ended a year later. The very Congress Zappa was worried about considering censorship was left-wing dominated, and had been for twenty years at the time. But he was out there spewing the same chicken-little fear-mongering which we hear out of the left-wing today. I am glad history has proved him wrong.
