Cover art for Who Needs The Peace Corps? lyrics by Frank Zappa

"okay idiots, once again i shall point out the obvious for you all.

"we're only it for the money" has nothing to do with Sgt Peppers besides them parodying the cover, thats it. the album is not a satire of the beatles in any way

it's more about the 70's AND the 60's, and the general purpose is to put shit on every single 'side' of the hippie movement, the police, the parents, the drugs, and the hippies themselves, and this is having a go at the idea of how cool it was to be an all loving hippe when you did'nt actualy have those views. it actualy contanes a large section where the character PLANS how the intend to become a hippie.

nothing to do with the beatles, it's just a funny cover. "

You're both a jackass, and wrong. "Absolutely Free" is an obvious parody of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and this album came out in 1968... but you claim it's about the 70's?

I think Zappa kinda makes an ass of himself on this album. He's really not being that clever, the music is only OK, and he's excessively pessimistic for no reason. That being said, overall I do think Zappa is a great musician.
