CHANGE we can really believe in


Tony Forest
Message Curtis Sherwood

My name is Tony Forest and I approve this massage oil.

Let me begin by saying I love this land we call America. Hardly any better place on the planet to ride my bike. Pride would be out of place as neither of us made the land what it is, so folks, let us join together in praising and remembering what once was a most impressive place. Before our founding (The) Mothers album "We're Only in It for The Money", artists couldn't quite put down in words the way many of us feel about this land. Yes, let us shine the light upon that one great song, written by the late, great Mr. Frank Zappa, "Absolutely Free" in which this most powerful line says it all:

Flower Power sucks!

Diamonds on velvets on goldens on vixen
On comet on cupid on donner & blitzen
On up & away & afar & a go-go
Escape from the weight of your corporate logo!

Or, from the same album, the song "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body?"...

What's the ugliest
Part of your body?
What's the ugliest
Part of your body?
Some say your nose
Some say your toes
(I think it's your mind)
But I think it's YOUR MIND
(Your mind)
I think it's your mind, woo woo

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE POOR
UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF
SYSTEMS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL
A PLAGUE UPON YOUR IGNORANCE & THE GRAY
DESPAIR OF YOUR UGLY LIFE

Where did Annie go
When she went to town?
Who are all those creeps
That she brings around?

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE POOR
UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF LIES YOU BELIEVE
A PLAGUE UPON YOUR IGNORANCE THAT KEEPS
THE YOUNG FROM THE TRUTH THEY DESERVE . . .

 

Folks, I see the truth in these lyrics. I see what Mr. Zappa was warning us about. Standing here on this pedestal today, I ask of you, do you ....too ?

Ask not what you can bring to the Party. Ask your Party which party they have gone to.

In closure, with my good friend Angie's approval, I shall soon deliver an earth shaking Adress at the gates of hell. Some people may say......some people may ....say......

"been there, done that, puh!" (JFK)

Thank you, and good night.
