Why so many Frank Zappa threads?

When black people sung country music it probably sounded good, hence why the two aren't commonly associated

Are you confident Zappa would have been a big Biden fan? You're aware of some of Biden's voting history long before he was president, right? I hope so.

Perfect example of binary mentality. No, I am pretty confident Zappa would have overtly despised both Biden and Trump.

PS: yes, I am aware of Biden's history.

@Under-the-radar, in some areas of decision making, such as voting for a U.S. president, the choice is, indeed, realistically, a binary one. This isn't Great Britain. Third party candidates don't win. All they do is help one or the other of the two real choices win, by net attrition from the other candidate.

You didn't see fit to mention Biden in your original post. Thanks for clarifying with your second.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from voting for Marianne Williamson, of course. I'm aware that some may choose a so-called "non-binary" (in the political sense) choice. It's possible, sure!

lol you made the same threads as swifties hahah

@Noflaps on the other hand, I wouldn't venture on hazarding a guess on who FZ voted for in various presidential elections, and much less on who he would vote for in this one, in the hypothetical situation he was still alive.

Ok, I lied. I will hazard a guess : I don't think he would vote for any of the two main parties candidates.

We reach an accord, @Under-the-radar. I don't think he would either. Perhaps Marianne Williamson would be the lucky candidate after all.

I think I saw this.

Sorry, I thought it was impossible to not be aware of the controversy around Beyonce's song.

The previous link was showing that the Country Music Police do not even know the history of the music genre. And tbh I could care less if an Asian American was singing country music. Apparently for some racists it's a big deal.

Lol That's quite an interesting explanation.

I’ve never heard or seen him until now. He looks like he could have played Sirius Black.
