The Central Scrrrrewwwwwwwwwwtinizer

For my money, or the lack thereof, no Zappa character says Zappa to me like “The Central Scrutinizer,” the narrator on Joe’s Garage (November, 1979). It’s Zappa in snarky hyperbolic perfection, introducing himself as the enforcer of laws that haven’t been passed yet, and the messenger of the dangers of that horrible force called MUSIC. . .

Loaded In The White Zone

Frank Zappa leveled some stinging musical satire at The First Church of Appliantology, and never demonstrated much reluctance to share his opinions on churches, politicians, and other self-appointed interpreters of moral turpitude. (Robert Novak, you’re dead now, so stfu.) The few comments below by Frank, giving over the years here and there, aren’t infallible truths set into stone tablets that are kept in a vault in one of the better neighborhoods of Encino; they’re just some things he felt or believed.

FRANK LIKE, HAD A WAY of putting his greasy fingers on discrete portions of society’s festering open wound in a way that always satirized on more than one level. . .

The Canoga Park Frank Zappadan Celebratory Cotillion got down in their Zappa-gear on Zappadan by celebrating Mammilian Protrusions Wednesday. Festivities began with a continental burnt weenie sandwich breakfast, and moved right into the Mammilian Protrusions Toss. Rigid ninnies are arranged in dangerous arrays in preparation for the nurf mammaries, which are soaked in beer before tossing a pair at the ninnie of your choice.

Frank Vincent Zappa, Urantian musician, was resurrected on the third period following his physical death on December 4, 1993. He was as surprised as any resurrectee that comes through here, pretty much a fucked-up agnostic who thought he was just another burnt weenie. But Frank is quick, clever, and smart, and got with the program from day one…

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans, led by android creep pussbag Mitch McConnell, crapped all over the last day of Zappadan by pretending the anti-American obstructionist bullshit which continues to flow from every pore of the fascist Republican cabal was actually just them insisting on their “…right to participate in the the legislative process.”

“Some day he’ll have to pay.”
• • • • • • — Frank Zappa, The Illinois Enema Bandit
Yes, another fortuitous conjunction of Zappadan with Ill-Anoise corruption corrupting absolutely. Rod the Political Enema is back at work today;  stand by for more scatological contributions.

I Should Explain.

Watermelon In Easter Hay is certainly one of Frank’s quintessential pieces. During our celebration of Zappadan it starts to play automatically on any Zappadan article that’s at the top of the page… The voice of The Central Scrrrrrrrrrrrutinizer can be unnerving to some…
