Good Old Zappa, god I miss him.

"If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library."

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."  

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

“The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own”

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but in the very least you need a beer."

"Government is the Entertainment division of the military-industrial complex."

"There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."

From "Titties & Beer":

Frank- "You ate my Prissy !?"
Devil-  "Titties and all!"
Frank- "Well, what about the Beer then, boy?"
Devil-  "In cans this tall !"
Frank- "Even her boots?"
Devil-  "Would I lie to you?"
Frank- "Shit, you must've been hungry"
Devil-  "Yes, this is True!"
Frank- "Don't they pay you well for the stuff that you do?"
Devil-  "Well ya know, I can't complain when the checks come through"
Frank- "Well, I want my Prissy, and I want my Beer, so you just barf her back up, now Devil, do you hear?"
Devil-  "Blow it out your ass Motorcycle Man! I mean, I am the Devil, do you understand !?"

                                                            Frank Zappa 1940-1993

Seems to me I recall him threatening to sue a school district for naming a school after him.  8)

Oops.  Added the missing word "him."

ZAPPA High. I think he would only approve if there were 3 hours of Music Class (Optional)followed by lunch(optional) and then 3 hours of Free Study in the Library (optional) Their Mascots could be the "Weasels"

I thought Zappa was an idiot until I heard him speak.

Awful music, real intellect.

Too bad he didn't know the word "libertarian" for that interview.

If you like that interview you should check out the clips of him when he testified before Congress about Rock lyrics. He rips Tipper Gore a new one, pretty damned impressive.

I meant, "Until I heard him speak in 1980".

Yes, his testimony was glorious. Can you imagine what kind of shit he and Rothbard could have come up with together?

Ahh, I see, please forgive my false presumption. I first discovered Zapppa when I was about 12 (around '78 or so) and signed up for Columbia House Records out of a magazine and chose a couple of his albums to round out (Along with yer prerequisites of that time period like Led Zep,Sabbath and  KISS) my "25 albums for 1 cent" or whatever it was because I thought the album covers were really cool.  It took me a few years to realize that the guy actually made some sense, except when he was intentionally being silly.

Not at all.

I'm more of a Boston/FleetwoodMac/Clanaad type myself. I like words I can understand.
