Lurching toward theocracy

"Later, when Lofton claimed that America's families were under attack and threatened by out-of-control musicians, Zappa stated clearly that the 'the biggest threat to America is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that's happened during the Reagan Administration is steering us right down that path.'"

There's another Zappa quote I'm fond of: "There will be no nuclear war. There's too much real-estate involved." Of course, he uttered this during the Cold War, and the rules have changed since then . . .
