More quotes by Frank Zappa
The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
Frank Zappa
It's a despicable thing to share your personal inner torment for money.
Frank Zappa
Rock music was never written for or performed for conservative tastes.
Frank Zappa
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa
Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.
Frank Zappa
Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?
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
You are what you is, you is what you am, you ain't what you're not. So see what you got?
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
Censoring what you say is one of the ways in which people who are not nice can take away your personal freedom.
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
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank Zappa
Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn't work.
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
People are just waiting around to get certified.
Frank Zappa
So many books, so little time.
Frank Zappa
. . . behind each breakaway movement is a breakaway demagogue who will set up his breakaway demagogue government.
Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
Frank Zappa
Listen honey, would I lie to you to get in your pants?
Frank Zappa
