"I feel that my work is but a feeble expression of something that in itself is vague and doubtful...Sometimes when I probe myself I find that my intentions in art aren't as sincere as they should be...I realize that I'm fairly good at drawing, but you see that's only because I've done so much of it, and it seems sometimes that the only reason I have stuck at it so diligently is because I have to sort of get even with society for not accepting me...Subconsciously I want to make myself immortal among men, leave my mark on the earth to compensate for social inadequacy...So I draw...If I got rid of my greatness complex. I probably would lose my desire to draw. It seems to me that a true artist is a man who is passionately in love with line, form, color or some aspect of life... While these things appeal to me, I don't find any real burning passion for them within myself...The only burning passion I'm sure I have is the passion for sex...
- R. Crumb, Sept. 29, 1961

Music exec Bruce Kapp dies at 57
Touring industry veteran Bruce Kapp, who is credited with helping to develop the concept of national gigging, was born with concerts on the brain: While in high school, he booked bands in and around his hometown, Chicago. After receiving a degree in marketing from Northwestern University (Evanston, Ill.), Kapp opened his own talent agency, which booked bands throughout the Midwest.
By the 1970s, he formed Celebration Concerts, a concert-promotion company whose clients included the Super Bowl of Rock series at Chicago's Soldier Field stadium featuring Emerson Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Ted Nugent and Peter Frampton.
JBTV Music Video This Show is and always was about MUSIC. NO corruption, no corporate PlayList, no payola. The record companies used to bring all the artists to JBTV that MTV wouldn't play. Yes MTV used to actually play Music Videos! Long time ago. The first half of the 90's MTV was dying but it wasn't dead yet. They had a very tight VooDoo formulae to get things on the playlist. JBTV benefited off this and had some excellent Music Videos in the period I worked there from 1990 - 1995. By the end O the 90s I would say MTV was all was completely brain dead. It's playlist excluded 90 percent of the Music videos out there. Because of that many people have mistakenly gone so far as to say that Music Video is a limited artistic medium, even claiming it's ruined the music business. The corrupted playlist of MTV has always been cited as proof.
The music business was dooming itself just fine without including the folly of MTV's narrow corporate playlist.
Holy Cow remember these? I used to Live for these WXRT Featured Artist cards. I remember getting them often at Flipside records on Finley Road in Lombard. They had the the three Genesis records "Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme and Tresspass" for $3.95 each. That was the going rate for albums.
This WXRT card is Aug. 1979
oh geez I was only a few weeks away from Army boot camp.
FRANK ZAPPA ON POLITICS
Politics is like the 1,000 clowns at the circus who get out of the tiny car, and you're supposed to be amazed. That's what politics is. They don't really stick their heads in the tiger's mouth. Politics is a bunch of show and blow for people who don't understand. The real decisions are not conducted at the polling place; they're conducted over a glass of Perrier in some luxurious resort where people with lots of bucks decide how they're going to chop up the world.
FRANK ZAPPA ON POLITICS
"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry" Politics is bullshit, basically, it's salesmanship.
We have a diverse population in the United States, with all kinds of different needs that have to be taken care of. That is the righteous function of government.
Government is about statesmanship not salesmanship. If you are making political statements, remember, you are not addressing the real needs of government. You're just talking about the Madison Avenue aspect.

RON PAUL ON TRANSPARENCY
All Federal Reserve meetings should be televised just like the proceedings of Congress, and they should once again make all information on the money supply available.
RON PAUL ON SLAVERY
All Americans need to educate themselves about monetary policy in order to better understand how a small group of UNELECTED individuals at the Fed and the Treasury Department wield tremendous power over our lives.
STEVE WOZNIAK ON LEARNING
Question: You are also teaching kids. From your point of view, what is important for kids to know nowadays?
Steve: I think it is how to think for themselves and question what they had been taught. The facts in books and the things they had learned in school. A lot of these things are not necessarily really facts. Start to ask skeptical questions and try to get to the truth. And don’t believe that everything is one way or another. Often there are grayscale ways. A lot of people, for example, are brought up to believe that a car should use less gasoline. Other people say it should be totally open how much gasoline your car needs. But maybe there’s an amount you can calculate which would be the right amount per day. I also think you should learn a lot of math. Be better at math because that needs a lot of improvement.
Poor Steve Wozniak, he is living in a fantasy world. Americans could give a shit about Math. And to say theirs a "calculation" on how much gas we could use per day? That sounds so scary I don't even know what to say! What about the "Math" of Free Market Principles? We can only hope thats what he meant and not some insane hippy socialistic goverment formulae.
Steve is right on the money about the THINK FOR THEMSELVES part and how kids should learn to not believe everything they are told. The real world is full of scammers. I would say at least a third of the commerce on the internet has some sort of scam attached to it. In the way of subtly stealing demographic information to outright blatent trickery and thieving! Learn-Before-You-Click should be the mantra in school for kids to know.
I don't have the quote handy but Frank Zappa goes so far as to suggest the educational system is purposely left in shambles so as to keep Americans as dumb "consumers" wasting all their money which keeps them preoccupied and safe from causing trouble to the Powers that be. Hmmm, thats a whopper. Coincidently 70% of the economy is from Consumer Spending. If people were smart, we would have NO economy!
Frank has good descriptions, but such ugly verbiage! I would fluff it up with some nice adjectives and flowery lingo. Frank is like Ron Paul, such a blunt delivery doesn't get you good press, or elected to President.
This Euro Band "Humble Grumble" are very Zappa-esque, GREAT Flash website! Humble Grumble
