July of 2006 is the 40th anniversary of the release of Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, one of the most influential rock albums ever recorded. The July Media Rants column celebrates the anniversary.
Check out the video below. It's Zappa on CNN's Crossfire from March 28, 1986 discussing music censorship. The other guest, John Lofton of the Washington Times, comes off as a first rate putz. There's even a point where Frank tells him to kiss his ass.

Great blast from the past, Tony!
And may I be one of the first to wish you a Happy Birthday this (I'm sure) beautiful Saturday July 1!
Many thanks to Babs and S.B. Princess Diana would have been 45 years old today too. And you know she'd be blogging.
You're gettin' closer to that Old Folks Home, Spanky.
See you there.
