I thought some people may be interested in this. It's Frank Zappa on Crossfire and the subject is censorship.

"The biggest threat to America today is not communism; it's moving America towards a fascist theocracy and everything that has happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe."

I would say it's prophetic.

Did you find that in a link? I'd love to see the original interview or read a transcript if one exists.

Frank was right, of course. Spot on. But could even he have seen or conceived what Bush is doing now?

Better than a link, you can watch a video of the interview from 1986.
