The obligatory Frank Zappa quoting thread

[Initech]

Post some of your favorite Zappa quotes!

I'll start with one of mine:

"Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny."

[CanuckAmok]

"Music is the best".

Pretty much sums it all up, doesn't it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. "Someday every one of those cocksuckers will get caught!"

And "Go register to vote!"

[Initech]

4. His whole speech at the beginning of that album is hilarious!

The end of Roxy & Elsewhere is great also!

[Zomby Woof]

2. Hydrogen is not the most abundant substance in the universe...

Stupidity is.

[MN ChimpH8R]

3. "Hydrogen is not the most common

element in the universe. STUPIDITY is the most common element in the universe."

"Jeebus thinks you're a jerk"

[AllegroRondo]

5. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.

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.

6. "You 're presuming, as most Americans do...

... that cynicism is a negative value. I happen to think it's the only thing that will enable a person to survive the late 20th century. If you demand to be shown verification for everything people tell you, you're going to take it up the poopshoot every time you turn around. Cynicism is good for you. It's healthy. Who needs friends? All they do is borrow money from you."

-FZ, 1979

7. "I'm not black but...

"There's a whole lots of times I wish I could say I'm not white!"
