Hey KH - yeah, that was some weird shit before Congress.
I think Tipper Gore would make an excellent Scn.
Cosmic Debris is one I steered clear of whilst a good brainwashed cultie. I assumed it concerned an experience with a would-be auditor for Frank ("He whipped out his shaving kit...", "It'll cure you asthma too", "and your old lady has just gone down", etc) but read that it was inspired by Krishnamurti. Maybe it's just a song for gurus.
Still, there are plenty of Hubbard/Scn ref to enjoy in Frank's music.I wonder if you would "get better results with anusol"?
P.S. If you like short, melodic songs what on earth are you doing with an album of Zappa guitar instrumentals?!
Enjoying the statistical density of his nested polyrhythms? No. I happen to know the answer. (Where are the smileys for smug and self-satisfied
) I was just curious to learn more about your answer because it seemed you were describing death rather than pure life.
I don't know why we torture ourselves talking about this stuff. Most of us agree, I think, that "the tao that can be spoken is not the true tao". :confused2:
Still, it can be fun.I find that sexist and insulting in the extreme!
Have we banned anyone this week?
Don't we have quotas to meet here?

The whole purpose to be is to entertain oneself.

That's not very altruistic Vinay.
Is entertaining others just a bonus?
There were no others when one started out.

i think that your original comment is to fool us into thinking that you are a man but i have a sneaking feeling that YOU ARE A WOMAN!!!!!!
I'm gonna sue you and then I'm gonna sue the clinic - all this stuff was supposed to be kept confidential.

You forgot to add: 'I'm going to sue you in England!'

"Sexual Harassment in the Workplace" is on Strictly Commercial, which I likes. "Peaches in Regalia" is of course a classic as well. I haven't caught an obvious Scn refs in Zappa songs. What are some other ones?

You do realize that if men were capable of multiple orgasms, most would die of dehydration?
I didn't realise SHITW was on the compilation. Apologies.
The most overt reference to Hubbard and CoS is from Joe's Garage where L. Ron Hoover runs The Church of Appliantology. "A Token of My Extreme" is the relevant song.
There are at least two or three references to Hubbard or Scn thrown in to live performances. On one version of Billy The Mountain, a character speaks (IIRC) "in a deep impressive L. Ron Hubbard type voice".
The Sofa on the cover of One Size Fits All is thought by some to be a dig at Scn and Chick Corea, possibly. It suggests you are actually at home listening to the album rather than off fighting nibbly-pibblies in some other galaxy.
Zappa's most well-known quote on Scn is: "Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this guy asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to join the master race. How's that for a religion?" I'm pretty sure this is part of Cosmik Debris, as mentioned, but the whole song is about cults/gurus in general.
Some more generic quotes:
Tax the FUCK out of the churches!
Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over.
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.

I understand, but this constant internal dialogue of your that you 'must' know everything and know it now isn't who you really are and you're allowing that to drive you .. and us..nuts!
I think that the unknown factor can be terribly frightening to people.
