They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

Zappadan 2025 comes to an end today on what would have been Frank Zappa's 85th birthday.

Happy Birthday Frank 🍰

“Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST.”

“What I ask people to do is simply this: in your own way, in your life, every day, you are faced with a given. Don’t just ‘consume it’. Just think about it for a minute. You have the right to process your information based on the means by which you were born. It is your right. That is true freedom. You have the right to make a decision. Now, if you choose to numb yourself and be deceived, you have the right to be deceived. But in your state of confusion, you don't have the right to be a burden, because of your self-imposed ignorance, towards other people who might want to do things the right way. If you voluntarily choose to be an idiot, whatever the reason you chose him, that's fine. You have the right to be stupid, but you have no right to harm other people because of your stupidity. And you don’t have the right to impose your stupidity on existence by law, to impose it on other people who have a clearer view of things.” “Most of the evils of society can be cured through information. We have a society that has been misinformed and on the basis of disinformation has made irrational choices. And that’s what I mean by “ignorance.” People, who could normally be smart, are deprived of the data with which to make a rational decision, they don't have the data to do so. No one has more control or access to the media of the White House press office. We saw it. They literally reshaped American history for their own ends. It’s really 1984: “Black is white, white is black, 2 and 2 makes eleven”, whatever they want to tell you. George Bush is a supporter of ecology. Ronald Reagan is a great patriot.” “You must be suspicious of the information. That’s why I say, “Information is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom.” “Bad information, it’s always information. If someone comes to you and says “Two plus two makes eleven” and has the presidential seal on their coat, flags waving in the background and balloons going up, you might think about it for a minute.

Day 11 Zappadan listen:

1979 - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III
album cover for Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" a three-part rock opera released by American musician Frank Zappa in September and November 1979. Originally released as two separate albums on Zappa Records, the project was later remastered and reissued as a triple album box set, Joe's Garage, Acts I, II & III, in 1987. The story is told by a character identified as the "Central Scrutinizer" narrating the story of Joe, an average adolescent male, from Canoga Park, Los Angeles, who forms a garage rock band, has unsatisfying relationships with women, gives all of his money to a government-assisted and insincere religion, explores sexual activities with appliances, and is imprisoned. After being released from prison into a dystopian society in which music itself has been criminalized, he lapses into insanity.
