I was never much interested in Frank Zappa but the lyrics of this song seem particularly prescient these days.

I'm The Slime: Frank Zappa

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livingroom floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
"Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about."
"There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking." Sir Joshua Reynolds

I'll ignore your cheap aroma and your little Bo Peep diploma, I'm gonna put you in a coma with my dirty love.

Yes Zappa is spot on, I only wish he was here now to write something about Twitter, BLM Democrats, our Greens and the rabid stupid people who call others Nazis and racists while following socialism which with all its dictators killed more than Hitler ever did.

People believe what they want until it's clear why they shouldn't.

Best unit I ever did in school was something called 'Truth and the media' ... notice it's AND and not IN ...

We all had a bit of an awakening and it really changed the way we looked at things. IMO it should have been mandatory.
