More quotes by Frank Zappa
Out on a 30 day tour, you got nothing, but groupies and promoters to love you.
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
Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
Frank Zappa
He wants to do you in cause the color of your skin.
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 people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway.
Frank Zappa
I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist, in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government. It doesn't own you.
Frank Zappa
Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great.
Frank Zappa
Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn't work.
Frank Zappa
Guitar playing, as currently understood, has more to do with sports than it does to do with music. It's an Olympic challenge type of situation. The challenges are in the realm of speed, redundancy, choreography, and grooming... ...clouds of educated gnat-notes.
Frank Zappa
I write what I like to write. Those who like to listen to it, listen to it. And the ones who don't, watch football and drink beer, jog, go to discos and so forth. I never claimed to be a man for all seasons.
Frank Zappa
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
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
Republican is fine, if your a millionaire. Democrats is fair, if all you own is what you wear. Neither of them's really right, cause neither of them care.
Frank Zappa
Her head is full of bubbles, her nose is petite, she looks like she never gets nothing to eat.
Frank Zappa
If your children ever find out how lame you really are, they'll murder you in your sleep.
Frank Zappa
I detest 'love lyrics.' I think one of the causes of bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics.
Frank Zappa
The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'.
Frank Zappa
I never have no trouble with my rubber girl.
Frank Zappa
If you really love guitar, you're going to spend every waking hour stroking the thing.
Frank Zappa
