More quotes by Frank Zappa
A wise man once said, never discuss philosophy or politics in a disco environment.
Frank Zappa
Power will be maintained by the groovy guy or gal who gets the most media coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in various businesses will do okay, too.
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
Since I didn't have any kind of formal training, it didn't make any difference to me if I was listening to Lightnin' Slim, or a vocal group called the Jewels ... , or Webern, or Varèse, or Stravinsky. To me it was all good music.
Frank Zappa
Whatever you have to do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder.
Frank Zappa
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralise the long-range effects of our national stupidity
Frank Zappa
Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them. With reading comprehension being what it is in the U. S., you can safely toss that one out the window. If you want to judge by the listening habits of people who buy records, the first thing they do is put it on and talk over it.
Frank Zappa
Drugs will turn you into your parents.
Frank Zappa
Do your job and do it right, life's a ball, TV tonight.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa
I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?
Frank Zappa
Producing satire is kind of hopeless because of the literacy rate of the American public.
Frank Zappa
Elmore James only knew one lick, but you had the feeling that he meant it.
Frank Zappa
Catholic girls with tiny little mustaches.
Frank Zappa
Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it's your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you're really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around.
Frank Zappa
Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
Frank Zappa
There is no hell, there's only France
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good with brown lipstick on.
