Below is a video from 20 years ago on a show called "Crossfire". It features the legend Frank Zappa and John Lofton, a waaay right-wing douchebag. The episode concerned censorship and the evil that is..."rock music". My hats off to Mr. Zappa for keeping his cool despite being surrounded by jackoffs. Please watch it.

Influences: Life. Nothing less.
Sounds Like: ...the soundtrack to an odd day.
