Frank Zappa - The Idiot Bastard Son
▻https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/frankzappa/theidiotbastardson.html
[The idiot bastard son:]
(THE FATHER’S A NAZI IN CONGRESS TODAY...
THE MOTHER’S A HOOKER SOMEWHERE IN L.A.)
[The idiot bastard son:]
(ABANDONED TO PERISH IN BACK OF A CAR...
KENNY WILL STASH HIM AWAY IN A JAR)
THE IDIOT BOY!
[Motorhead:]
I never wanted to because I was too small to start with, I used to drink really some bad stuff... Wine, all kinds of wine! Mixed, seven different varieties... Thunderbird wine... I don’t know but I chugged a fifth of White Port once and passed out one day (heh heh)... and I drank a quart of beer just before that... and we were out riding around in the desert...
...very strange! Anyway...
Try and imagine
The window all covered in green
All the time he would spend
At the church he’d attend...
Warming his pew
Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
THE CHILD WILL THRIVE & GROW
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know
What this is about
(YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING... maybe so)
The song we sing: DO YOU KNOW?
We’re listening...
THE IDIOT BOY!
Try and imagine
The window all covered in green
All the time he would spend
All the colors he’d blend...
Where are they now?
[Gary Kellgren:]
Right now I have two hit records on the charts, but it has not made me any money. It has only brought me fame and glory, and a lot of work. Which I do, really not care to tell...

Frank Zappa – Dickie’s Such an Asshole
▻https://genius.com/Frank-zappa-dickies-such-an-asshole-lyrics
One ’n one is eleven!
Two ’n two is twenty-two!
Won’t somebody kindly tell me
What the government’s tryin’ t’ do .
Dickie’s just to tricky
For a chump like me to use, oh use
You take that sub-committee serious, boy (and I’m serious)
You just might get a seizure from the evenin’ news
Millions ’n millions of dollars .
Much as he might need . . . (good work!)
He could open up a chain of motels, people
On the highway, yes indeed!
Quadrophonic desperation! (oh, pinch that loaf now!)
There might be confinement loaf up under your bed (well . . . )
You know if you just might pinch a little loaf in your slumber (pffft . . . NURSE!)
The FBI is gonna get your number
GONNA GET YA
GONNA GET YA
GONNA JUMP UP THE SUB-COMMITTEE AND GET YA!
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
THEY ALREADY GOT YOUR PICTURE
THE FBI
AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS TOO
THE FBI
THEN THEY GOT A GUY IN VIRGINA
THE FBI
WHIFFING UP A LITTLE SOUP JUST FOR YOU
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
Tryin’ not to worry
Tryin’ not to care
But you know, I get so excited
When that soup goes over there
Can’t have no private conversation
Nowhere
In the USA
Can’t wait ’til the rest of the people all over the the world
Find out that their confinement loaf
Is just the same ol’ way
Every day .
(Pinch that loaf now!)
Let me tell you about this right now
Let me tell you about this right here
Let me make this formerly clear
Let me tell you about this right here
You know you put me in office
So you must have wanted me in office
I did you no harm
I used to have twenty-five tapes
Now I only got ten
Can’t remember what happened to the rest
S’pose I gave ’em to a friend
Gave a couple to Bebe Rebozo
Gave a couple to Pat Boone
Gave a couple to Ronald Reagan
Gave a couple to the new vice-president
He said he’d stick with me through thick and thin
Even if I invaded Nicaragua
You know I’m not a crook
You know I’m not a crook
I just wanna lie about one more thing right now .
(Say yeah yeah . . . )
The gangster stepped right up
’N kissed him on the lips good-bye
Made him a cocksucker by proxy, yes he did
An’ he didn’t even bat an eye!
The man in the White House - oooh!
He’s got a conscience black as sin!
(Yeah, maybe I . . . I don’t know but, it’s just a training exercise)
There’s just one thing I wanna know -
How’d that asshole ever manage to get in?
You’re all the same, so sing right along now:
DICKIE’S SUCH AN ASSHOLE
Sincerely, Dick, we mean it
Sincerely, Ron, we mean it
Sincerely, Dick and Ron, we continue to mean it
Wee-ooo

Frank Zappa - Pygmy Twylyte/The Idiot Bastard Son/Dickie’s Such An Asshole (Live at The Roxy 1973)
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D7w0aHjUGE
Released as part of the 1974 live LP Roxy & Elsewhere, “Pygmy Twylyte” was a regular feature during Frank Zappa’s 1973-1974 tour but never reappeared afterwards. The “original” version is a short (two minutes), fast-paced song with a twisted melody exploiting all of singer Napoleon Murphy Brock’s wide range. Lyrics make absolutely no sense: “Green hocker croakin’/In the Pygmy Twylyte/Crankin’ an’ a-coke’n/In the Winchell’s do-nut Midnite.” It roughly looks like a leftover leaf from Zappa’s “life on the road” songbook or maybe a drug-addict spoof similar to “It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal.” In any case, the lyrics are mostly irrelevant to the song — their role was to make Brock’s life as difficult as possible.
The Roxy version was recorded early in the tour and extensively overdubbed in the studio later. The performance included on You Can’t Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 2, from a late-1974 show, is all the more significant. Lasting almost nine minutes, it is taken at a considerably slower tempo, in an altogether different key with more mutated vocals. More importantly, it features a whole new chunk of music as it indulges in a strange progressive disco vamp — and a guitar solo of course. The two available recordings could almost be seen as entirely different pieces if it were not for their shared set of lyrics. The fact that Zappa never performed the piece after 1974 turned “Pygmy Twylyte” into an obscure title.

La grande multinationale #Sears ferme. Elle avait mis en place une #retraite par capitalisation censée bénéficier à ses employés. Ce type de retraite que les politiques français nous vantent depuis 30 ans comme devant remplacer la retraite par répartition solidaire. La #bourse est censée être plus efficace que la solidarité... sauf quand l’économie se dérègle. En faisant #faillite, Sears perd l’argent de ses #fonds_de_pension, et ses employés perdent leur retraite... Vive le #capitalisme et ses mensonges qui profitent à quelques milliardaires et essorent les petits #vieux...
Sears #Canada ferme et les fonds de retraite des employés fondent

  C’est une constante pour les fonds de #retraite par capitalisation, aux USA.
  Autre exemple, général motors #GM, . . . + ceux des villes : Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphie ou la Nouvelle-Orléans et des Etats américains.
  D’aprés mes souvenirs, Les retraités de wolkswagen avaient beaucoup investi dans leur entreprise, au temps où le prix de l’action était au plus haut.

  Mister America
  Walk on by
  Your schools that do not teach
  Mister America
  Walk on by
  The minds that won’t be reached
  Mister America
  Try to hide
  The emptiness that’s you inside
  When once you find that the way you lied
  And all the corny tricks you tried
  Will not forestall the rising tide of
  Hungry freaks, Daddy . . .
  They won’t go
  For no more
  Great mid-western hardware store
  Philosophy that turns away
  From those who aren’t afraid to say
  What’s on their minds
  (The left-behinds of the Great Society)
  Hungry freaks, Daddy . . .
  Mister America
  Walk on by
  Your supermarket dream
  Mister America
  Walk on by
  The liquor store supreme
  Mister America
  Try to hide
  The product of your savage pride
  The useful minds that it denied
  The day you shrugged and stepped aside
  You saw their clothes and then you cried:
  THOSE HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!
  They won’t go
  For no more
  Great mid-western hardware store
  Philosophy that turns away
  From those who aren’t afraid to say
  What’s on their minds

  L’écoute de cette émission est finalement assez décevante, beaucoup d’entre-soi (la petite blague à propos de l’agitation chronique de Pascal Comelade qui ne tient pas en place devant un micro), Claude Barthélémy qui passe entièrement à côté de son sujet, le documentaire qui commence avec la rencontre etre Zappa et Boulez à l’IRCAM et qui doit servir de caution intellectuelle, je passe sur Thiellement et son petit rire nerveux, les groupies elles sont faites pour être baisées par pour chanter , quant à Michaël Grebil-Liberg, c’est un peu l’adolescent qui nous fait écouter des solos de gratte en montant le son sur les notes les plus distendues, t’as-vu-comme-il-est-fort.
  Finalement la seule parole un peu intelligente dans cette heure de longs solos (pas forcément les meilleurs) est peut-être celle de Pascal Comelade pour rappeler qu’avec Zappa l’avant garde déboule dans la musique populaire. Mais c’est une parole longue à venir (come souvent avec Comelade) sans être non plu transcendentale.

  J’ai vu un autre doc sur Arte il y a pas très longtemps qui n’était pas top non plus. On y voyait des bouts d’interview où l’on se plaisait à évoquer un aspect « décalé » de sa musique et où Zappa devait répéter que non, il ne se droguait pas. Le résumé que j’en fait est à peine caricatural.

  Il y a un documentaire néerlandais que j’ai vu une fois qui est un peu au dessus du lot, mais je ne sais plus où je l’ai vu. Mais même ce doc n’était pas non plus la panacée (un des mérites de ce documentaire batave c’est aussi de donner la parole à des musiciens comme George Duke et Ruth Underwood qui d’ailleurs tous les deux sont au bord des larmes, c’est très émouvant). La personnalité, extrêmement fertile et complexe à la fois, de Zappa ne rend pas la tâche facile, et tout un chacun a son Frank Zappa chéri. Dans l’émission à propos de la Grande note , ils sont apparemment très portés sur les solos de gratte, qui, si je ne les boude pas moi-même, ne sont pas ma partie préférée au contraire des paroles dont je raffole et de l’engagement politique de Zappa à la fin des années 80, notamment contre censure et bien pensance.

My point about America and what you Americans seem to miss is summed up nicely by #Frank_Zappa:
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
