     ...waitasecond!!! Is Frank Zappa really intent on swaying peoples'
     views on this PRMC scene??? You gotta be kiddin'!! I thought he
     went to those hearings just to cut up and mess around and generally
     expose them for the farce that they really were.I didn't believe he
     was actually going to make himself a "spokesman for the cause" or
     anything mindless like that!!!...

     ...Say it ain't so!!!!...
