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.

More quotes by Frank Zappa
Elmore James only knew one lick, but you had the feeling that he meant it.
Frank Zappa
Wowie zowie, love me do. Wowie zowie, and I'll love you, too.
Frank Zappa
They were wearing smelly blankets, they looked like Donovan fans.
Frank Zappa
The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn't, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that's a bonus.
Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.
Frank Zappa
Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil and greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.
Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.
Frank Zappa
The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon.
Frank Zappa
All that we got here is American made. It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed.
Frank Zappa
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
Frank Zappa
She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago. His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
Frank Zappa
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which?
Frank Zappa
Do your job and do it right, life's a ball, TV tonight.
Frank Zappa
I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.
Frank Zappa
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
The devil, he's about this big. He had a red suit on and a widow's peak, and then a pointed tail, and like a sulfur reek. Yes, it was him alright, I swear.
Frank Zappa
You're baloney without the mayo.
Frank Zappa
Out on a 30 day tour, you got nothing, but groupies and promoters to love you.
