pat and jimbo are televangelists pat robertson (700 club) and jim and tammy bakker (PTL in the 80's)
the start of the song refers to "tammy faye", jimbo's wife (and co-host), he preached and she sang, and she'd always start crying and her mascara would stream down her cheeks, sort of her trademark. jimbo got "busted" for sexual impropriety with a hooker, big scandal, but zappa is saying that jimbo is obviously "slightly gay" and sucked dicks, too. zappa is not just being filthy, if you look at a photo of jim bakker's face you might see what zappa is talking about. also there were rumours... you know how cruel people can be... especially when the "snitch" was none other than pat robertson, the bakker's arch-competitors in the jesus tv biz. past robertson also snitch them off for income tax violations, etc. the reference to reagan and oliver north is the iran-contra affair, which itself was a cover-up for something far more humiliating than blatantly breaking so many laws its impossible to describe, but all that was an attempt to get back william buckley, the head of the CIA in the middle east, who was kidnapped by hezbollah in 1984 and tortured for 444 days until he died. hezbollah tauntingly sent videos of the torturing to langly virginia, CIA headquarters, the information they extracted from col. buckley was a huge book about 5 inches thick! detailing everything the USA was doing in the middle east. all this was financed by iran, and THAT IS WHY to this day, the US govt cannot get over it. pat robertson was a televangelist who contributed money to this effort, as did many famous millionaires, h. ross perot being one. when zappa wrote this song, none of this information was known. but look at what zappa says. the person being described in the middle of the song is pat robertson, who ran for president back then. later on, when bush 2 was in office, pat robertson and a whole gang of his jeezo-politicos tried to change our constitution in 2004. look it up, its common knowledge now. all of that FAILED. the point is, frank zappa told us about it 20 years before it happened in this stupid song about jimbo bakker sucking dicks.
YES, it is indeed hilarious, but zappa was a political genius as well as a musical genius.
it failed in 2004, but those people aren't gone. they're still with us, threatening our freedoms, JUST LIKE ZAPPA SAID.
war on terror, patriot act, guantanamo bay, legal assassination, internet monitoring, and of course, still trying to "get back" on iran for humiliating the US military might, (hezbollah bombing of marines in lebanon, 1983, the FIRST suicide bombing) not letting the CIA steal all their oil, instead they kidnapped the top boss and tortured him to death in exactly 444 days, the same amount of days the US embassy staff was held hostage by revolutionary STUDENTS (1979-80) hezbollah did it, iran financed them. look it up online, iran pays out 500 million a year to all kinds of pro-theocracy terrorist groups, hezbollah receives 250 million of that 500, or half.
i'm just telling you the history of what has happened since frank zappa made this song and TOLD US it was coming.
