Frank Zappa (December 21, 1940 - December 4, 1993)
The only difference between a cult and a religion
is the amount of real estate they own.
A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on
unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of
unsuspecting musicians.
A drug is neither moral or immoral- it's a chemical
compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society
until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a
temporary license to act like an asshole.
Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy
but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an
"inconvenience." We have opted instead for an
authoritarian system disguised as a Democracy. We pay
through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let
it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes
got in there.
Art is making something out of nothing and selling
it.
Communism doesn't work because people like to own
stuff.
High school isn't a time and a place. It's a state of
mind.
I can't understand why anybody would want to devote their
life to a cause like dope. It's the most boring pastime I
can think of. It ranks a close second to television.
I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth
get cleaner?
If it wasn't for rap there would be no poetry in America.
I think we went directly from Walt Whitman to Ice-T.
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an
education, go to a library.
If your children ever find out how lame you really are,
they'll murder you in your sleep.
It's not a matter of being misunderstood. It's a matter
of being uncomprehended.
Jazz is not dead... it just smells funny.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down
and bending over.
Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing
people who can't talk for people who can't read.
Stupidity is replicating itself at an enormous rate. The
person who stands up and says, "This is stupid,"
either is asked to "behave" or, worse, is greeted with
a cheerful, "Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!"
The United States is a nation of laws, badly written and
randomly enforced.
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe,
and it has a longer shelf life.
There will never be a nuclear war. There's too much real
estate involved.
Without deviation, progress is not possible.
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an
airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team,
or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a
beer.
