Yes, the magic is disappearing from the music because the magic is also disappearing from our culture. Products/Brand names mean everything nowadays where as people, relationships, wonder etc. used to. The art won't change for the better until the focus becomes far less materialistic.

The Slime has gotten to you my friend, along with what seems to be most of America, and I fear it may be too late to free enough people from it's grasp.

Good on Zappa for saying "there was never anything that even resembled a revolution," about the 60s. if no power changes hands, then, no, that's not a revolution.
This came out in the 80's death metal was getting started around this time. So even this isn't the good ol' days because if it has screaming a good chunk of conservatives hate it.
Frank Zappa was one of the best musician and composers in the 20th Century. Frank was never fake and he always gave a great concert. Some of his songs are controversial but they are entertaining.
Just want to say Ted is actually a straight forward, decent and good journalist / interviewer, who asks intelligent, poignant questions and makes constructive points.
@@cap2205 These people are TV personalities who give their own opinions about current events, not journalists who stay objectively neutral. You can say that the days of real journalism are gone because even in local news people can't help but injecting their feelings and opinions while "reporting" news. What can we do, back then it was public service. Now it is business model.
I've never been a huge fan of Frank's music (Though I acknowledge he was a genius), but I could listen to the guy talk for hours. Such a wonderfully interesting brain.
I'm starting to run out of Zappa interviews to watch... It makes me sad because I could listen to this genius speak for hours. I'd love to have asked him about certain topics that face us in the modern world, he would have a great perspective on it all if he were still around.
DoomKid yeah ye did try an warn us ,of where things were going an it just just as he predicted . Folk's like him wont stay long the folks in charge makes sure of that .
Well, you're obviously pretty young then. Prince built his entire brand on being controversial, but compared to what's the norm today, it is rather tame. But then again, times, and sadly, the quality of music has definitely changed drastically.
Daniel Tinker And now he’s dead thanks to the excesses of his degenerate lifestyle. I can understand why parents don’t want to have his influence in their kids lives but Donny was right; you better start early if you want a chance.
During the same time period (1980s) you had bands like: 2 Live Crew, Slayer, GG Allin, Morbid Angel, The Genitorturers, The Cramps, Agent Orange, etc. etc. etc. So I'm not exactly sure why they were picking on Prince.
Frank's kids seemed to have come out completely fine and actually much more smart than most. My parents didn't censor me from anything. For instance, I played GTA3 at age 8. I'm not out killing people. Censoring people keep people closed off and strange
2 of his kids came out fine. The other 2 didn't. Not his fault. The older 2 talented kids are often referred to as "Frank's kids". The other 2 are often referred to as his wife's kids. Look into the Zappa family in-fighting, law-suits, etc.
Glen Scammell makes me wonder if the NWO Illuminati killed him like the speculations of recent deaths of famous controversial people that just suddenly died
"When conservatives have lost the argument, there are three things they fall back on to still try to win: religion, patriotism, and children." - George Carlin
Now that it's 30 years later, I look at this and see that Zappa was right. Ever since they came out with this "rating" crap, the music has gotten more and more provocative. Zappa should have been President.
rbagel55 Donnie Osmond was right too, putting a sticker on an album saying it may be offensive to young people and those young people WILL buy more of that product then if it didn't have the sticker on it. All any parent has to do is look back at when they were teenagers and what their parents thought was acceptable, descent and nice. They rallied against it. It's the way of the world. The proof is it's now 30 years later than 1980. What do we have?...The same old same old that has been going back for a dozen generations.
I still have my ZAPPA for President bumper sticker, I just loved the man and yes he should have been our president, of course in this evil world that couldn't happen!
@@stevenschoen398 I think the label's point was to help the parents to know what is appropriate for their kids. The problem is that most people are shit parents and don't give a fuck.
Fortunately, Zappa wasn't the only artist with integrity against censorship. Even John Denver, not a guy known for explicit lyrics at all, was taking a stand against it.
Im a big Zappa fan, but Donny Osmond actually makes the best point in this whole discussion, which proved to be the most prescient over time. Rating albums actually pushes artists to be more "provacative" Which is exactly what happened.
The whole interview (without realizing it) I was thinking to myself "wow, back then TV anchors were pretty smooth and good at keeping it civil". How much has TV news devolved...
Thank you for uploading these. They were very interesting to watch. A neat view of the beginning of ratings/censorship during the first 2 years of my life. Very fascinating interviews!!
I listened to Frank Zappa as a kid. I never wanted to rape someone or abuse a child in any way. I also listened to all the other so called " Morally dangerous" bands of the 70's up until today and never have I ever done anything wrong as far as what types of morally repugnant activity that Tipper Gore and the PMRC claimed that it would cause. I started listening to Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa at an early age 12 and they have only made me a smarter person if anything.
Great discussions. Tragic we don't see such debate anymore, esp. on the part of the press. Journalism has taken such a steep dive the last 40ish years.
Today everyone's feelings get hurt. Too many Snowflakes today. In RAP these days every 2nd word is nigga this & nigga that. Auto tune & no one knows how to play a musical instrument.
Wow, I feel old. This was going on when I was in 7th grade. Don Imus hit it on the head though. Most of the really controversial lyrics they were talking about were from obscure bands. My health teacher decided to jump on this bandwagon and put on a presentation for our class about the dangers of music. I was introduced to bands like 'The Mentors' and 'WASP'. Two bands I never even heard of. I went to the record store the next day to look for the albums.
The left in Europe have done a pretty good job going after the internet so don't think for a second that the modern Democrats aren't going to try the same thing. They've gotten so much worse since the '80s.
Zappa AND Donny Osmond are friggin' perfect! Cannot believe I said that about Donny Osmond, but LORDY! He's a self aware man. I also have liked his songs for a long time, though I didn't hear him for the first time until about 20 years ago., 20 years later. I am AMAZED Donny Osmond is the voice of reason in this debate.
"Nobody's talking about taking away your right to..." Assembly Association Consensual Sex Guns Reproductive Choices Recreational Drugs Speech "...we just want common sense legislation."
It was the talk of the town when the hearings were televised. I finally got to see the man, in a suit, on the hill taking congress to task. awesome. Frank hated what Reagan had turned the republican party into. Im just glad he didnt get to see what Bush and Donnie T did to it.. lol. I hope it dies a slow painful death.
With the upcoming documentary on FZ hitting the screens, he will be getting some long overdue extra exposure and attention. Hopefully it will switch a lot of people on. Music is art. Not UA-cam. FZ would have ruled these platforms. We need Frank and we need him NOW. Go tell your friends. Buy his records. Not downloads. Frank Zappa is the king. Never to be beaten, over-shadowed or ignored. The highest level of respect we can afford him is to enjoy his music and listen to what he says and throw in a little bit of 200 Motels on the side.
"GODDAMN" RIGHT! lol Seriously though, you're right! Maaaaybe some parents would rather their children NOT be influenced by some New Testament dribble that some priests came up with LONG after the "alleged" Jesus walked around preaching Christian rhetoric... It's because ppl are uneducated and don't know or understand history enough to know that most of the Bible has been proven NOT to be historically accurate with other events that took place proving it UNREAL. Now let's see how long it takes for SOMEONE to FREAKOUT over what I said..
At the very least there should be a disclaimer. Something along the lines of: FICTION. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Zappa had an album with a warning sticker on it for explicit lyrics. The only problem was - it was an instrumental album
That reminds me when there was this one instrumental song called Rumble, that was banned because of how it sounded
These are adults with obsessive thoughts., let's create a problem and talk forever until we all give in and die of boredom.
His style of playing was just so damn graphic
@@guywholovesmusic4611 Yes. Violent air vibrations. Well i say the words coming out of these peoples mouths are violent air vibrations. Lets slap a sticker on their forehead as a warning that bullshit is coming.
‘Twas Jazz from Hell.
His mind was so sharp & clear ; his thoughts were so truthful... Fantastic man.
"Can't tell 'em apart, can you?". Frank Zappa was a brilliant man. He ALWAYS wins in these debates.
I loved that effortless brutality :-)
"People in the music business devote their time to making a product rather than music." Spot on Frank.
Becomes more true every day...
@@alwhyte6533 yes, blandness, soulless and instantly forgettable.
Well if you are in a *business,* you can’t escape making a product. Zappa’s product was an anti-establishment one.
To Stratman: The classic harbinger statement then, for the subsequent eras.
Yes, the magic is disappearing from the music because the magic is also disappearing from our culture. Products/Brand names mean everything nowadays where as people, relationships, wonder etc. used to. The art won't change for the better until the focus becomes far less materialistic.
Frank Zappa was a true genius. His use of the medium of music in political and social satire and commentary has been sorely missed since his passing.
not at all. I got apostrophe when I was 14 on cassette and won't drive a car without a cassette player since. I also have overnight sensation in cassette. both are some of my favorites
He died too soon,for we surely could really need him right now to bravely take on Trump,Fox News,the Tea Party,and the far right movement.

Frank: "Try putting music back in schools so kids can learn there's more music out there than rock n roll!" -Amazing.
Miss you, Frank. We could really use your guidance today. R.I.P.
Good on Zappa for saying "there was never anything that even resembled a revolution," about the 60s. if no power changes hands, then, no, that's not a revolution.
"Can't tell em apart, can ya?" -even better quote from Frank Zappa
"Oh come on, Candy"
"There was a lot of revolutionary rhetoric... but there never was a revolution."
He was right about that
Now it's rap, and classic rock is the good ol' days of clean music. And before Rock, Jazz was shocking. It's a never ending cycle.
Exactly
Now the puritans are the politically correct police
@@laquijadadeldesorden Because there's a difference between expression and straight up discrimination/slurs
Now in the 21st century it got even more hypocrite. Every non politically correct expression is gonna be accepted as long as it's profitable

He knew what he did, and what he did, well: I loved it. It was as a big shiny hell with a big shiny bluesy Monster.

Best quote: "ahhh C'mon Candy..."
I love that Ted actually kind of puts Candy down.

"oh come on candy" -Frank Zappa
That wasnt Zappa who said that, though.
No, that one's Frank all right. Unmistakably.
koppel said "not yet" candy said "& never will" at 10:41 zappa clearly said "oh come on candeeeee"
He has a line in a song that mentioned Candy. I can’t remember what song. Hmmmmm.

I Love how Zappa always destroys anyone he argues with . . . effortlessly. Its like he can't even be bothered hahahah
+John Ryan Sullivan
Another hallmark of his genius.
Just one of many
That was his genius. Now we have Ben Shapiro.

DoomKid same
Rewatch his testimony alongside John Denver. That the best of the best.
DoomKid me too
I'm convinced that his early passing expedited the degeneration of our society.
DoomKid yeah ye did try an warn us ,of where things were going an it just just as he predicted . Folk's like him wont stay long the folks in charge makes sure of that .
It's pretty funny that there was a time when Prince's music was controversial.
Well, you're obviously pretty young then. Prince built his entire brand on being controversial, but compared to what's the norm today, it is rather tame. But then again, times, and sadly, the quality of music has definitely changed drastically.
Prince is fucking awesome. Yeah today he's tame, but the guy could write a damn song, make it sexy and racy and also make it pop in your ears. Genius.
Daniel Tinker And now he’s dead thanks to the excesses of his degenerate lifestyle. I can understand why parents don’t want to have his influence in their kids lives but Donny was right; you better start early if you want a chance.
Prince’s music wasn’t as controversial as his public persona. He was a hyper-sexual androgynous little man who was pushing a lot of moral boundaries.
During the same time period (1980s) you had bands like: 2 Live Crew, Slayer, GG Allin, Morbid Angel, The Genitorturers, The Cramps, Agent Orange, etc. etc. etc. So I'm not exactly sure why they were picking on Prince.
“Is this an album you want your child to bring home?!” *holds up W.A.S.P*
Fast forward to 2021
Frank's kids seemed to have come out completely fine and actually much more smart than most. My parents didn't censor me from anything. For instance, I played GTA3 at age 8. I'm not out killing people. Censoring people keep people closed off and strange

YES absolutely. I agree
What about anything but killing?

And she's a fascist homophobe!

You mean Susan?
@@carolanno3805 fuuk, everyone in these videos look reptilian. They live

Love how Ted just cuts her off mid-sentence as she's stammering to make a point. 'Alright Candy, we gotta take a break.' 😂
Frank Z. Light-Years Ahead of his Time.
Glen Scammell makes me wonder if the NWO Illuminati killed him like the speculations of recent deaths of famous controversial people that just suddenly died
Bob Builder Or the more likely conclusion is that his prostate cancer was in too late of a stage to be operable when it was caught.
djg or at least the story goes. :(
A light-year is a unit of length, not time. But you are, of course, right, regardless.
I was not a fan of Frank's music But I respect him immensely s a musician, and his social views. He was Rock's greatest spokesman.
Yeah that slap bass was pretty bad.
Her Eye brows are so scary to watch ..
Zappa is one of the most intelligent musicians so far i have seen :)
His speaking skills are so Impressive :)
... if Zappa was here today ! He'd have a field day and a hell of a lot of material to laugh at and with. miss him.

Shout-out to Ted Koppel for being a relatively unbiased reporter in the 1980s.
Imagine that especially nowadays with the way t media has been consumed by the propaganda of these years compared to those days
Sad you don’t see his tactics. He’s acting neutral as he maintains the narrative of this blonde clone.

Ther is no god or heaven. Wake up adult. Frank hates religion and thinks it is the no1 issue In the world.. so, there is that.
The way she pronounced "Motley Crue" was a thing of beauty.
