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.

I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.

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.

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

Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement.

If we cannot be free, we can at least be cheap

If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
Image
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.

A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa

Science is moving closer to weaponry, and Art is moving closer to commercialism. And never the twain shall meet.
Frank Zappa
Image
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
Image
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.

Nobody gives a crap if we're great musicians.
Frank Zappa

Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.
