Our big prize tonight is fifty American dollars to the girl with the most exciting mammalian protuberances.

Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of speech, freedom of religious thought, and the right to due process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain.

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.

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.

Cocaine decisions that you make today, will mean nothing later on when you get nose decay.

Her head is full of bubbles, her nose is petite, she looks like she never gets nothing to eat.
Frank Zappa

Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.

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.

They tried to make me go to Catholic school, too. I lasted a very short time. When the penguin came after me with a ruler, I was out of there.

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.
