Tribute To Frank Zappa

The Old Zappa song "More trouble every day" plays on in my head every time I turn on the news and see more trouble every day as Frank Zappa noted so many years ago "no one can delay the trouble coming every day" Frank Zappa died too soon before the horrors of the Trump era that he would have foreseen if he had lived on he was truly a prophet crying in the wildness while making money as" an over night sensation" as he saw the "slime oozing out of the TV sets" he proclaimed that we will do what we are told for the rights to us have been sold And Jesus too has been sold to the highest bidder nothing but a business deal in America the land of the constant deal where everything and everybody is nothing but a commodity to the masters of the universe and so I turn off the TV and realize that as Zappa once sang so many years ago "the torture never ends" "the torture never ends"
