Zappa, Hicks return from grave to wail on Bush

"

In a surprise move that has people the world over questioning the true nature of life and death, musician Frank Zappa and comedian Bill Hicks were spotted walking together in Washington D.C., despite both having been dead for more than a decade.

This obvious disadvantage notwithstanding, there have been numerous sightings all over the American city of the deceased pair and sources say their plan is to make it to the White House to ‘confront Bush Jr.’.

Both Zappa and Hicks, each noted as a pioneer in his field, were staunchly anti-Republican when alive and particularly scathing of the current President’s father George H.W. Bush. Hicks called Bush Snr ‘the elephant beast’, while Zappa considered the man to be a ‘micro-publican raised on hate’.
Sources say that when the world of the unliving caught wind of Bush Jr. becoming President, Zappa and Hicks were the first to begin the long march, which has taken five Earth years.

Fans of the dead artists have rejoiced at their heroes’ return, some even hoping new material will be released. ‘I’d really be stoked if Hicks had written a new routine based on what it’s like being a zombie in a post-9/11 world run by the elephant beast’s son’ said Joey Lawrence, president of the ‘We Want Our Thumbs’ fan club. ‘But he’ll probably just do some old JFK jokes.’

Zappa fanatics shared a similar position. ‘I just hope he manages to knock Bush out of the White House with an ear shattering guitar solo’ said Larry Charles, member of the ‘The Best Fan Club You Never Joined in Your Life' fan club. ‘Something that really cooks, like Black Napkins. That shit would fry Bush’s brain’.

Although neither of the reanimated stars could be reached for comment, witnesses reported that both looked ‘pretty pissed off’ as they approached the capital. ‘Oh boy, all heck’s gonna break loose if they get past White House security’ said Terrie Malone, of BrazilianBush.org. ‘All I can say is: watch out Mr. Bush. You were safe while they were dead, but now all you can do is pray’.

To this paper’s knowledge, Hicks and Zappa continue to march on the capital, edging ever-closer to their inter-universal rival. Federal police units have been warned and are positioning themselves around the White House
