Bob Dobbs’ Diaries: Aug. 28/1979 (Los Angeles)



Dobbs: Frank, you hit the nail on the head with that theme of banning music in Joe's Garage?

Zappa: Yeah, look at what the Ayatollah is doing in Iran!

Dobbs: Oh yes, but I want to warn you. There's going to be a rise in Fundamentalist political activity here in America mainly through the Republican Party over the next few years. Your scenario will look more like the news than science fiction.

Zappa: If you're right, then those are some of my worst fears come true.

Dobbs: It's unfortunate, but it's going to knock the wind out of a lot of the mood of electric autonomy that motivated much of the frenzy of the Seventies.

Frank turned back to his editing console, but he also turned on his television to catch the news.
