A GREAT album 👍❤.
Sadly we wont get a composition celebrating the 250th Anniversary of The Divided States (like '200 Years Old', and also 'Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead' celebrating the 200th Anniversary), but on the 20th of March we will get the 50th Anniversary Edition of 'Bongo Fury', with extra material from the concerts in Amadillo 1975.

The album's originally intended cover artwork was by Cal Schenkel and Jerry Schatzberg; a parody of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and includes a lot of notable figures, like Franz Kafka, Lyndon B Johnson, Hieronymus Bosch to name a few, Verve decided to package the album with the parody cover as interior artwork, out of fear of legal action.

Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST.” FZ

Frank had amazing foresight, and his prediction of an evangelical, fasciSStic theocracy was almost right on!

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
