Who is your favorite musical artist? (post a YouTube Video)
The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn’t, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that’s a bonus. (interview, May 1993)
Frank Zappa (1940-1993). Composer, guitarist, social satirist, free speech advocate who was not afraid of words.
Some of his words on censorship:

Parting thoughts. You’ve been memed.
