[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 227660, member: 2189"] One of my favorite Zappa moments was "Billy the Mountain" and I got to see Zappa live in 1972'. I was so impressed by the fact that the band used bandstands and sheet music. I never appreciated until that night the complexity of Frank's music until I saw that. He is missed not only musically but as a political voice too. For those who want to eliminate the IRS and change the tax system you have a great ally in Frank because he was very vocal about that fact. Yesterday in Georgia, the big political news was retired Senator Sam Nunn and a possible independent run in the 08' Presidential race. Things are starting to get really, really interesting along these lines. I know from the comments here, it seems most of those from the repub. camp hold little interest in the current declared bunch and are waiting for Thompson to jump both feet in instead of dancing around the edges. On the democrat side, you have the obvious front runners but these guys are only among the dedicated democrat hardcore. To get elected you have to appeal to the general electorate and IMO these 2 above could potentially do some real damage to the lockdown the 2 parties have on our current political system. This election next year if things continue could get real interesting to say the least and what's really doing the damage leading in is not Bush or the repubs (they've stayed the course they've been on) but rather the ineffectiveness of the democrat controlled Congress to move anything meaningful forward and the people see this and the opinion polls show this very clearly. If the dems aren't able to gain somekind of foothold and move something forward then you could see a voting public going into the general election so fed up with bothsides doing nothing but grandstanding before the cameras that they actually think about alternate choices and in that emotional state they pull the trigger on a 3rd party option. Talk about political revolution! [/QUOTE]
