Beschreibung | Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American musician, composer, and bandleader. His work is characterized by nonconformity, free-form improvisation, sound experiments, musical virtuosity and satire of American culture. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestral and musique concrète works, and produced almost all of the 60-plus albums that he released with his band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. Zappa also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse musicians of his generation. |

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
