me, lately

A new season of The Venture Brothers is happening, so that's been occupying my Sunday nights. Odd changes this season- lots more character development than usual, but definitely a shift in focus from the season-wide story line to development within a single episode.

I can't get enough of this clip from CNN's Crossfire in 1987 featuring a remarkably well-spoken and composed Frank Zappa; he's thoughtful and articulate as ever, and he takes John Lofton and an uninformed Robert Novak to school. Surprised by how simultaneously contemporary and dated this is, but either way, "Zappa is dead! Long live Zappa!"
