It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Music is always a commentary on society.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Most rock journalism is people who can&#8217;t write, interviewing people who can&#8217;t talk, for people who can&#8217;t read.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can&#8217;t always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It isn&#8217;t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Communism doesn&#8217;t work because people like to own stuff.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we&#8217;d all love one another.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I searched for years I found no love. I&#8217;m sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Most people wouldn&#8217;t know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Without deviation progress is not possible.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~ Frank Zappa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I never set out to be weird.
