“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” (Frank Zappa)

Frank Vincent Zappa was born on December 21, 1940, and passed away on December 4, 1993. He was an American composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director. Throughout his career he wrote rock, jazz, electronic, orchestral, and musique concrète works. Zappa produced more than 60 albums with the band Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist.

Many of his albums are remembered in rock and jazz history. He is regarded as one of the most original guitarists and composers of his time. He remains a major influence on musicians and composers. Frank was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997.
Here are a few of his quotes:

- It is always advisable to be a loser if you cannot become a winner.
- A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it's not open.
- If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
- Sometimes you got to get sick before you can feel better.
- Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great.
- Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.
- Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die.

And my FAVORITE:
- May your shit come to life and kiss you on the face.
