More quotes by Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
Frank Zappa
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.
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
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
Gave my money all to you, took my watch and pawned it, too.
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.
Frank Zappa
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
Frank Zappa
The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
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
Her head is full of bubbles, her nose is petite, she looks like she never gets nothing to eat.
Frank Zappa
I ain't the type for begging, I am not the type to plead. If she don't change those evil ways, I'm gonna make her bleed.
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
I never have no trouble with my rubber girl.
Frank Zappa
Hendrix is one of the most revolutionary figures in today's pop culture, musically and sociologically.
Frank Zappa
Censoring what you say is one of the ways in which people who are not nice can take away your personal freedom.
Frank Zappa
A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa
I want a girl that can swallow my pride.
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
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
I'm more interested in melodic things. I think the biggest challenge when you go to play a solo is trying to invent a melody on the spot.
Frank Zappa
