Right.

But listen to the album "Broadway the Hard Way" (1988), Was.

".....seriously, Ollie (North), you're a dick. Seriously Ron (Reagan), you're a dick. George (Daddy Bush), you're a dick too......"

From a previous post;

"When the lies get so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!"

Trying to claim him as a staunch Republican or Democrat is silly. He was smarter than that.

That, and I think you need to read post #18 again.

He's lampooning the absurd notion that "Womens Liberation" causes men to become homosexuals.

"Easy there, white folks! I told y'all'd be get- tin' yo' fairies after while, 'n y'know dat sort o' thing take a little time to woik up to in yo' broadway sitchyatium! mammys step faw'd 'n hep d

Oh I understand the context Dave. Frank was nearly always being sarcastic and satirical in his lyrics.
And he had no time for the red or blue team. In fact, he would have declared sites such as this one to be a big exercise in mental masturbation, where we continuously growl back and forth about which party is at fault when we know deep down that neither side is worth a damn.
He fought galantly against censorship as it was an issue that effected his craft. It was Tipper Gore and a bunch of her ilk that he sparred with.

Oh really? ...and why is it that you frequent this joint?

[Wasillaguy]

Well, to be quite frank, I'm not quite Frank.

Smokin' that Tundra bud tonite, eh?

Kirkland Vodka.
Bonus- you'd be hard pressed to find a better liquor bottle to use as a billyclub.

Absolut here. You shop at commie Costco? What will the neighbors say?
