More quotes by Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

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
All the old history was written for the amusement of the ruling classes. The lower classes couldn't read, and their rulers didn't care about remembering what happened to them.
Frank Zappa

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
The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.
Frank Zappa
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa
My guitar wants to kill your mama.
Frank Zappa
The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
